PG - 293-5 LID - 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1003-9406.2011.03.012 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To analyze the sequence of the exons 2-4 of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) novel allele HLA-B*15:129. METHODS: DNA of the proband was extracted from whole blood by commercial DNA extraction kit. The amplification for HLA-B exons 2-4 was performed separately by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with allele group specific primers. The PCR products were digested with enzymes and then directly sequenced for exons 2-4 of HLA-B locus in both directions. RESULTS: Sequencing results showed the HLA-B alleles of the proband included B*07:02 and a novel allele. The sequence of the novel allele has been submitted to GenBank (accession no. EF473219) and the allele has been officially named B*15:129 by the WHO Nomenclature Committee. Comparing with the HLA-B*15:01:01:01, the sequence of exons 2-4 of HLA-B*15:129 showed three nucleotide difference in exon 3 at positions 362 and 363 from GG to AT and positions 369 from C to T, which resulted in an amino acid change from Arg to Asn at codon 97. CONCLUSION: A novel HLA-B allele was identified and has been officially named B15:129 by the WHO Nomenclature Committee.
