Two human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 (HLA-DRB11376 and -DRB11465) and one HLA-A (HLA-A2471) novel alleles have been identified in individuals from the Brazilian Bone Marrow Donor Registry. DNA sequencing of exon 2 for HLA-DRB1 alleles showed two and five nucleotide substitutions in -DRB11376 and -DRB11465, compared with closely related alleles, respectively. These substitutions result in a change of amino acid residues in HLA-DRB11376 at position 74 (Arg --> Glu) and in -DRB1465 at positions 47 (Tyr --> Phe), 57 (Asp --> Ser) and 74 (Glu --> Ala). On the other hand, sequence analysis of exons 2 and 3 for HLA-A2471 showed a single substitution, leading to a single amino acid change at position 151 (His --> Arg). These three novel alleles may have originated from other HLA alleles by gene conversion. However, it is also possible that HLA-A2471 has evolved from one of the alleles of the HLA-A2402 group through a point mutation.
在巴西骨髓捐献者登记处的个体中,已鉴定出两个人类白细胞抗原(HLA)-DRB1(HLA-DRB11376和-DRB11465)新等位基因以及一个HLA-A(HLA-A2471)新等位基因。与密切相关的等位基因相比,HLA-DRB1等位基因第2外显子的DNA测序显示,-DRB11376和-DRB11465分别有两个和五个核苷酸替换。这些替换导致HLA-DRB11376第74位氨基酸残基发生变化(Arg→Glu),以及-DRB1465第47位(Tyr→Phe)、第57位(Asp→Ser)和第74位(Glu→Ala)氨基酸残基发生变化。另一方面,HLA-A2471第2和第3外显子的序列分析显示有一个单一替换,导致第151位氨基酸发生单一变化(His→Arg)。这三个新等位基因可能通过基因转换起源于其他HLA等位基因。然而,HLA-A2471也有可能通过点突变从HLA-A2402组的一个等位基因进化而来。
