Abstract：

Objective To analyze the sequence of the exons 2-4 of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) novel allele HLA-B*15:129.Methods DNA of the proband was extracted from whole blood by commercial DNA extraction kit. The amplification for HLA-B exons 2-4 was performed separately by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with allele group specific primers. The PCR products were digested with enzymes and then directly sequenced for exons 2-4 of HLA-B locus in both directions.Results Sequencing results showed the HLA-B alleles of the proband included B*07:02 and a novel allele. The sequence of the novel allele has been submitted to GenBank (accession no. EF473219) and the allele has been officially named B*15:129 by the WHO Nomenclature Committee. Comparing with the HLA-B*15:01:01:01, the sequence of exons 2-4 of HLA-B*15:129 showed three nucleotide difference in exon 3 at positions 362 and 363 from GG to AT and positions 369 from C to T, which resulted in an amino acid change from Arg to Asn at codon 97.Conclusion A novel HLA-B allele was identified and has been officially named B15:129 by the WHO Nomenclature Committee.     

Sequence analysis of a novel human leukocyte antigen allele HLA-A*9206

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the molecular genetic basis for a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) novel allele HLA-A*9206 in the Chinese population. METHODS: DNA was extracted from whole blood by PEL-FREEZ DNA extraction kit. The amplification of HLA-A exons 1-8 of the proband was preformed and the PCR products were sequenced using ABI sequencing kit. Both strands of exons 2, 3 and 4 of the amplified product were sequenced. The polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) was performed to split the two alleles apart and confirm the mutations detected by sequencing. RESULTS: The sequencing results showed that the HLA-A alleles of the proband were A*1101 and a novel allele. The sequence of the novel allele has been submitted to GenBank (EF062306). After Blast analysis, the novel allele shows one nucleotide different from the HLA-A*0206 in exon 3 at nucleotide position 530 (C to T). This results in an amino acid change from Ala to Val at codon 153. CONCLUSION: This allele is a novel allele and has been officially named A*9206 by the WHO Nomenclature Committee.     

Ambiguities of human leukocyte antigen-B resolved by sequence-based typing of exons 1, 4, and 5

The elucidation of the sequences of human leukocyte antigen-B (HLA-B)-exons 1 through 5 has led to an increase of ambiguities with alleles having identical exon 2 and 3 sequences, but differences in other exons. At the moment, 26 HLA-B alleles show such ambiguities which can be resolved by sequencing the exons in which the differences are located. Here we report a sequence-based typing (SBT) strategy for heterozygous sequencing of exons 1, 4, and 5, in addition to the previously described exons 2 and 3. The strategy was validated against a panel of 25 individuals, carrying HLA-B alleles from 33 different allele groups. Correct assignment of all HLA-B alleles was obtained for exons 1 through 5. In addition, the SBT protocol was used to resolve ambiguities in 50 individuals. The ambiguous combinations studied were B*0705/06, B*0801/19N, B*1512/19, B*180101/17N, B*270502/13/0504, B*350101/42/40N, B*390101/0103, B*400102/0101, B*440201/19N/27, and B*510101/11N/0105/30/32. In all cases, sequencing revealed the first allele to be present, except for three individuals with B*07. One of them typed B*0705; the other two were B*0706. The described SBT protocol for sequencing exons 1, 4, and 5 is a valuable tool for resolving ambiguities of HLA-B alleles with differences in these exons, as well as for studying the polymorphism of HLA-B outside exons 2 and 3.

Elucidation of exon 1, 4, and 5 sequences of 39 infrequent HLA-B alleles

More than 590 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B alleles have been identified by sequence analysis. Although the polymorphic exon 2 and 3 sequences of all HLA-B alleles are described, the sequences of the other exons of a number of infrequent B-alleles are unknown. In this study, the exon 1, 4, and 5 sequences of 39 different HLA-B alleles were elucidated by allele-specific sequencing. Overall, these exon sequences showed identity with the majority of the known sequences from the corresponding allele groups, except for four alleles B*4010, B*4415, B*4416, and B*5606. The exon 1 sequence of B*4010 had nucleotide differences with all B*40 alleles, but was identical to the B*54, *55, *56, and *59 allele groups. B*4416 differed from B*440201 at position 988, which was previously considered a conserved position. B*4415 showed exon 1, 4, and 5 sequences deviating from the other B*44 alleles, but identical to B*4501. The exon 1 and 4 sequences of B*5606 differed from other B*56 alleles, but were in complete agreement with B*7801. The deviating exon sequences of B*4415 and B*5606 confirmed the evolutionary origin of these alleles suggested by the sequences of exons 2 and 3. The polymorphism observed in exons 1, 4, and 5 merely reflects the lineage-specificity of HLA-B.
