Characterization of 43 novel HLA-H alleles

Mehdi Alizadeh et al. HLA. 2024 Jan.

Abstract

Forty-three novel HLA-H alleles, including 32 identified in cohorts of French donors for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, have been characterized by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) using a long range PCR approach. A phylogenetic study confirms three main HLA-H clades.

Keywords: HLA-H genotyping; NGS; new alleles.
