Identification of the Novel HLA‐DPB1*04:02:36 Allele, a Synonymous Variant of HLA‐DPB1*04:02:01:02

Key Points

• The aim is to identify a novel allele and its genetic variation in the HLA-DPB1 gene.
• Identification of the HLA-DPB1 allele
• Analysis of synonymous genetic variations
• A novel allele HLA-DPB1*04:02:36 is identified
• It differs from HLA-DPB1*04:02:01:02 by a synonymous CAG to CAA substitution in codon 62
