Abstract
This manuscript is a continuation of this laboratory’s journey to identifying novel HLA alleles while performing routine clinical HLA laboratory testing. Since our last paper, we have identified an additional 28 novel HLA alleles that are identified and described herein. One novel allele was found in two unrelated patients that were HLA typed for different reasons at two different times, suggesting that novel alleles may be much more frequent than previously expected. If the rate of identification is hindered by bioinformatics challenges, there is a great potential for our patients to suffer needlessly from incomplete information in either diagnostics or unrecognized incompatibilities with potential donors.
