DNA sequencing of 268 individuals drawn from four US populations carrying two unresolved DRB1*14 alleles differing only outside the antigen recognition site identified DRB1*1454 in the majority. A database of 4222 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation donor-recipient pairs was queried to determine the number likely mismatched for DRB1*140101/DRB1*1454 but matched for class I loci. A power calculation suggests that more than 88,000 transplants among Europea ...[more]
