Abstract
We here describe two new DRB alleles (DRB1*0317 and DRB3*0210) which were detected by polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific oligonucleotides (PCR-SSO) and confirmed by direct sequencing. The exon 2 sequence of DRB1*0317 is the result of an intergenic recombination event yielding a hybrid allele between 5'DRB1 and 3' DRB3 sequences with the recombination breakpoint located between codons 39-51. The new DRB3*0210 allele is closest related to DRB3*02021 except for a single nucleotide position at codon 51. Here, the sequence AGG at codon 51 which was a group-specific motif for all DRB3*02 alleles described previously, is replaced by the DRB consensus sequence ACG.
