The HLA system is known to be the most polymorphic region of the human genome and is considered a paradigm for genetics studies. As of April 2018, a total of 2165 HLA-DRB1 alleles have been recorded in the IPD-IMGT/HLA database (http://www. ebi. ac. uk/ipd/imgt/hla). 1 In this article, we described the identification of a new allele DRB1* 14: 54: 01: 04, which was discovered during the HLA typing of a north Han Chinese family. This novel allele was identified in both the mother and her son. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood and quantified using the Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts). The full-length sequence of the HLA-DRB1 gene was amplified using a Tru-Sight HLA v2 Sequencing Panel (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, California) and sequenced using a MiSeq Reagent Kit v2 Micro (300 cycles, paired-end 150-bp sequencing) on Illumina MiSeq platform. Raw data were analyzed using Tru-Sight HLA Assign 2.0 Software (version 2.1. 0.943; Illumina) with default settings. The sequence differences were validated by Sanger sequencing. All samples with the identified singlenucleotide polymorphism were amplified using ExTaq DNA polymerase (Takara Inc., Dalian, China). Details of the methods were described in our previous studies. 2–4 A total of 13 282 nt sequence was obtained. Two differences were identified in DRB1* 14: 54: 01: 04 when compared with DRB1* 14: 54: 01: 01. The new allele DRB1* 14: 54: 01: 04 has a G to A transition change from DRB1* 14: 54: 01: 01 at nucleotide 10 544 and a four-nucleotide insertion (TGAG) at nucleotide 9068. Both the differences exist in intron 2 and are illustrated in Figure 1. The genotype of the mother is HLAA* 02: 06: 01: 01, 03: 01: 01: 01; C* 07: 02: 01: 01, 07: 02: 01: 03; B* 07: 02: 01, 39: 01: 01G; DRB1* 14: 05: 01, 14: 54: 01: 04; DQ A1* 01: 04: 01G, 01: 04: 01G; DQB1* 05: 02: 01, 05: 03: 01: 02; DPA1* 01: 03: 01: 01, 02: 02: 02; DPB1* 02: 01: 02, 05: 01: 01.
