AB  - The aim of the study was to evaluate the presence of nonfrequent, rare and very 
      rare alleles among Croats and to estimate whether they are associated with 
      specific alleles at other human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci. This retrospective 
      study included the typing results from the last 10 years; total number of 
      individuals included was approximately 45,000. Among 17 alleles so far observed 
      only once in our population, 6 (A*24:41, B*07:02:28, B*35:03:03, B*39:40N, 
      DRB1*13:23 and DRB1*14:111) belong to very rare alleles, 2 (B*44:16 and 
      DRB1*01:31) belong to rare alleles according to the 'Rare Alleles Detector' tool 
      ( www.allelefrequencies.net), while for the B*35:101:01 allele published data 
      exist only in the IMGT/HLA database. The remaining eight HLA alleles observed 
      only once among Croats are considered as frequent according to the 'Rare Alleles 
      Detector'. Those 17 HLA alleles are not declared as common well defined (CWD) 
      alleles in the CWD allele catalogue 2.0.0. Haplotype analysis of nonfrequent 
      alleles detected in our sample supports the idea that different populations, 
      although similar in some aspects regarding HLA allele and haplotype distribution, 
      still have some unique characteristics. This is the case for A*01:02, B*39:10 and 
      DRB1*13:32 which form haplotypes unreported to date among our subjects.
