Nomenclature for factors of the HLA system, update September 2017

Genomic full‐length sequence of the HLA‐B*40:60 allele was identified by full‐length group‐specific sequencing

“…This follows the agreed policy that, subject to the conditions stated in the most recent Nomenclature Report, names will be assigned to new sequences as they are identified. Lists of such new names will be published in the forthcoming WHO Nomenclature Report 3 …”

Genomic full‐length sequence of HLA‐B*50:31 was identified by full‐length group‐specific sequencing

“…The sequence with 2693‐bp length of B*50:31 (MG782890‐HWS10051927) was submitted to GenBank and the IPD‐IMGT/HLA Database, the name was officially assigned by the World Health Organization (WHO) Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System. This follows the agreed policy that, subject to the conditions stated in the most recent Nomenclature Report, name will be assigned to new sequence as it is identified. A list of such new names will be published in the next WHO Nomenclature Report.…”

Genomic full‐length sequence of HLA‐B*40:54 was identified by full‐length group‐specific sequencing

“…The sequence of B*40:54 , a total of 2854‐bp in length was submitted to GenBank and the IPD‐IMGT/HLA Database (MG782889‐HWS10051925), the name was officially assigned by the World Health Organization (WHO) Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System. This follows the agreed policy that, subject to the conditions stated in the most recent Nomenclature Report, name will be assigned to new sequence as it is identified. A list of such new names will be published in the next WHO Nomenclature Report.…”
