Abstract:
The study reports the molecular characterization of a new DQB1 variant initially detected by unusual sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO) hybridization patterns in one Caucasoid individual. This new allele is identical to DQB1*0501 except for two silent nucleotide substitutions at codons 49 (GCA-->GCG) and 77 (AGG-->AGA). Compared with DQB1*0502 it differs in three nucleotides at codon 57 changing AGC (encoding Ser) to GTT (encoding Val). Considering the paternal genotype, it appears this new allele might have been generated by an interallelic sequence exchange between the two paternal DQB1 alleles.

Gene Conversion
Gene Duplication and Divergence
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are characterized.
