PMID- 16866887 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20060818 LR - 20221207 IS - 0001-2815 (Print) IS - 0001-2815 (Linking) VI - 68 IP - 2 DP - 2006 Aug TI - Four novel human leukocyte antigen-DQA1 alleles identified in the Korean population. PG - 167-72 AB - Four novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQA1 alleles have been characterized by direct DNA sequencing of coding exons 1-4. All the novel alleles exhibited a single nucleotide substitution either in exon 3 or in exon 4 when compared with previously defined alleles. Thus, it is likely that alleles were generated by point mutation from pre-existing alleles in the population. Substitutions resulted in either a silent (DQA1*010203) or an amino acid change (DQA1*0506, DQA1*0507, and DQA1*0508). The substituted sites were both previously known polymorphic and conserved positions. Putative haplotypes associated with the novel alleles were deduced based on the HLA types shared by the individuals carrying a novel allele or from previously reported population data.
