Abstract:
A new DRB1 allele has been identified during routine HLA-DRB1 generic typing with sequence specific oligonucleotides. The new allele was confirmed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and subsequently sequenced. This showed the novel allele, named HLA-DRB1*1207, was similar in sequence to DRB1*12011, except for codon 69 of exon 2.
