Abstract: | We here report sequence confirmation and analysis of the variant HLA-DRB1*14:01:03 on three voluntary bone marrow donors and the conserved haplotype carrying DRB1*14:01:03 allele in Taiwanese population. In exon 2, the DNA sequence of DRB1*14:01:03 is identical to HLA-DRB1*14:01:01 except a silent nucleotide substitution at position 192. However, sequence specific primer (SSP) reaction pattern of DRB1*14:01:03 matched with the pattern of DRB1*14:54 instead of DRB1*14:01:01, 14:01:02 or 14:01:03. In exon 3, at position 421, DRB1*14:01:03 has an identical nucleotide as DRB1*14:54 but differs from DRB1*14:01:01. We think the discrepancy of the allele assignment by SSP typing protocol and by sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSO) and sequence-based typing methods should be addressed. We assume DRB1*14:54 is probably the parental allele for DRB1*14:01:03. |
