Abstract
DNA sequencing of 268 individuals drawn from four US populations carrying two unresolved DRB1*14 alleles differing only outside the antigen recognition site identified DRB1*1454 in the majority. A database of 4222 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation donor–recipient pairs was queried to determine the number likely mismatched for DRB1*140101/DRB1*1454 but matched for class I loci. A power calculation suggests that more than 88,000 transplants among European Americans will be needed to identify sufficient 7/8 allele‐matched pairs to evaluate the impact of the DRB1*140101/DRB1*1454 mismatch on transplant outcome. Molecular modeling of the HLA‐DR interaction with the T‐cell receptor and with CD4 suggests that the amino acid substitution distinguishing the two alleles will have minimal impact on allorecognition.Keywords
