Characterisation of the Novel HLA‐DQB1*03:609 Allele by Next Generation Sequencing

Key Points

• The aim is to characterize the HLA-DQB1*03:609 allele using advanced sequencing techniques.
• Characterization of HLA-DQB1*03:609 allele through next generation sequencing.
• Identification of a single nucleotide substitution in codon 132 of exon 3.
• HLA-DQB1*03:609 allele identified with a specific nucleotide substitution.
• Characterization demonstrates genetic diversity within HLA-DQB1 alleles.
