C. Vilches et al., A NOVEL TAQI DQA RFLP ASSOCIATED WITH HLA-DR9,DQ9 (DQA1-ASTERISK-0302)/, European journal of immunogenetics, 22(3), 1995, pp. 261-264
A new TaqI/DQA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) has bee
n found in two Spanish Caucasoid individuals. The novel polymorphic fr
agment has a relative mobility of 4.2 kb and is associated with an HLA
-A2,Cw1401,B51,DR9,DR53,DQ9 haplotype. Nucleotide sequence analysis i
ndicates that individuals showing this RFLP pattern do not carry a new
DQA1 allele, but that (DQA10302) commonly observed in DR9,DQ9 haplot
ypes. The new RFLP seems to be a locally restricted marker of uncertai
n origin.
