Discovery of the Novel HLA‐DQB1*06:552 Allele in a Taiwanese Individual

Key Points

• The aim is to identify and describe the novel HLA-DQB1*06:552 allele resulting from a specific nucleotide substitution.
• Analysis of HLA-DQB1 alleles in a Taiwanese individual.
• Identification of a single nucleotide substitution in codon 109 of HLA-DQB1*06:01:01:01.
• Identification of the novel HLA-DQB1*06:552 allele due to a nonsynonymous nucleotide substitution.
