Identification of a new HLA‐DRB1 allele, HLA‐DRB1*1212, and confirmation of HLA‐B*1586*

Abstract
Abstract:  A novel allele, HLA‐DRB1*1212, was identified by sequence‐based typing. DRB1*1212 was identical to DRB*120101 at exon 2 except for a single nucleotide at position 199 from A to C, leading to amino acidic substitution from Ile to Leu at codon 67. We also confirmed the HLA‐B*1586 in another Chinese person.
