DRB1*1446 allele variations in the group-specific annealing sites of common amplification primers.
2003
A cord blood unit from the Umbilical Cord Bank of Barcelona was initially typed by sequence-based typing (SBT) as DRB1* 0701. However, the subsequent confirmation by sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes (SSOP) revealed an unusual hybridization pattern that did not fit any of the known HLA-DRB1 alleles or allelic combinations. Molecular cloning and sequencing with primers located at introns 1 and 2 provided the definitive identification of a novel DRB1*1446 allele. It was similar to DRB1*1402 at exon 2 except for nucleotide substitutions at codons 10, 11 and 12 (from YST to LRK) that coincide with the 5′-end group specific site for the annealing of common amplification primers used by SBT and sequence-specific primers.
