Genetic variation in the MICA and MICB genes located within the major histocompatibility complex region has been reported to be associated with transplantation outcome and susceptibility to autoimmune diseases and infections. Only limited data of polymorphism in these genes in different populations are available. We here report allelic variation at 2‐field resolution and the haplotypes of the MICA...
Until recently the number of alleles of the nonclassical HLA class I gene HLA‐E documented in the IPD‐IMGT/HLA Database was small and as a result, the gene was often not considered to be notably polymorphic. Here, we describe our work in identifying and submitting 86 novel HLA‐E alleles after full‐gene single‐molecule real‐time (SMRT) DNA sequencing of 6227 DNA samples. These samples were comprised...
As the primary genetic determinant of immune recognition of self and non‐self, the hyperpolymorphic HLA genes play key roles in disease association and transplantation. The large, variably sized HLA class II genes have historically been less well characterized than the shorter HLA class I genes. Here, we have used Pacific Biosciences Single Molecule Real‐Time (SMRT®) DNA sequencing to perform four‐field...
We have developed a genotyping assay that produces fully phased, unambiguous HLA‐E genotyping using Pacific Biosciences' single molecule real‐time DNA sequencing. In total 212 cell lines were genotyped, including the panel of 107 established at the 10th International Histocompatibility Workshop. Our results matched the previously known HLA‐E genotype in 94 (44.3%) cell lines, in all cases either improving...
