- Abstract
Fourteen DRB alleles, DRB1*0705, DRB1*11014, DRB1*1134, DRB1*1136, DRB1*1141, DRB1*1335, DRB1*1337, DRB1*1338, DRB1*1342, DRB1*1343, DRB1*1349, DRB1*1510, DRB3*0105, and DRB5*0103, are described. Among them, eleven are variants which differ by only one nucleotide from previously described alleles, including one silent variant (DRB1*11014). Alleles, DRB1*0705, DRB1*1335 and DRB3*0105, display unique sequence motifs that have never been observed in DRB alleles.
