We detected a rare HLA-B locus allele, B40:97, in a Taiwanese unrelated donor in our routine HLA SBT (sequence-based typing) exercise for a possible hematopoietic stem cell donation. In exons 2, 3 and 4, the sequence of B40:97 is identical to the sequence of B40:02:01 except one nucleotide at nucleotide position 760 (C->T) in exon 4. The nucleotide variation caused one amino acid alteration at residue 230 (L->F). B40:97 was probably derived from a nucleotide substitution event where C was replaced by T at nucleotide 760 involving B40:02:01. The HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 haplotype in association with B40:97 may be deduced as A26:01-B40:97-C03:03-DRB111:01-DQB103:03. Our recognition of B40:97 in Taiwanese helps to fill the void of ethnic information for the allele B*40:97 reported to the IMGT/HLA Database.
我们在常规 HLA SBT(基于序列的分型)检测中发现了一个罕见的 HLA-B 基因座等位基因 B40:97,来自一位台湾非亲缘供者,可能用于造血干细胞捐献。在第 2、3 和 4 外显子中,B40:97 的序列与 B40:02:01 相同,除了第 4 外显子中核苷酸位置 760 的一个核苷酸(C->T)。核苷酸变异导致第 230 位残基(L->F)的一个氨基酸改变。B40:97 可能源自核苷酸取代事件,其中 C 被 T 取代,涉及 B40:02:01。与 B40:97 相关的 HLA-A、HLA-B、HLA-C、HLA-DRB1 和 HLA-DQB1 单倍型可以推断为 A26:01-B40:97-C03:03-DRB111:01-DQB103:03。我们在台湾发现 B40:97,有助于填补该等位基因 B*40:97 在 IMGT/HLA 数据库中的种族信息空白。
