Table 3 Specific A locus sequence-based typing ambiguities discovered during this study and the reason that the ambiguity occurs.

From: Ambiguous allele combinations in HLA Class I and Class II sequence-based typing: when precise nucleotide sequencing leads to imprecise allele identification

1

A*010101/04N

0104N is resolved as a C insertion at bp 628 in exon 4.

2

A*2402/09N/11N

24020101 is unresolvable from 24020102L. 2409N is resolved in exon 4 at bp 742 by a T substitution. The base change responsible for 2409N creates a premature termination on exon 4. 2411N is the result of the same insertion at 0104N.

3

A*010101/04N, 0201/09/43N or 0236, 3604

0209 is resolved as an A substitution in exon 4 at bp 779. 0243N is resolved as a C insertion at bp 780. 0236 and 3604 are not defined in exon 4.

4

A*020101/43N, 030101 or 0226, 0307 or 0234, 0308

0226 and 0308 are not defined in exon 4. As a result resolution can not be determined.

5

A*0201/09/43N, 2301/07N or 0236, 2304

The 02 alleles are resolved in exon 4 as described above. 2307 N is resolved by a C insert at bp 628 in exon 4. Neither 0236 nor 2304 are defined in exon 4.

6

A*020101/09/43N, 240201/09N/11N or 0212, 2413 or 0236, 24031/33

The 02 and 24 alleles are resolved in exon 4 as described above. Alleles 2413 and 0236 are not defined in exon 4.

7

A*0201/09, 2501 or 0206, 2503

The 02 alleles are resolved in exon 4 as described above. 2503 is not defined in exon 2.

8

A*030101, 240201/09N/11N or 0308, 2407

The 24 alleles are resolved in exon 4 as described above. 0308 is not defined in exon 4.

9

A*030101/2501 or 0308/2502 or 3204/6601

0308, 2502, and 3204 are not defined in exon 4.

10

A*A*030101, 2601 or 0308, 2613

0308 and 2613 are not defined in exon 4.

11

A*240201/09N/11N, 2601 or 2406, 2608

The 24 alleles are resolved in exon 4 as described above. 2406 is undefined in exon 4.

12

A*240201/09N/11N, 2902 or 24031, 2903

The 24 alleles are resolved in exon 4 as described above. 24020101, 2902 and 240301, 2903 are unresolved.

13

A*020101/09/20/43N, 310102/3102

3102 is not defined in exon 4.

14

A*240201/09N/11N, 3201 or 2432, 3203

Both 2432 and 3203 are not defined in exon 4.

15

A*240201/09N/11N, 680102/11N or 2406, 6809 or 2407, 680301

680102 and 6811N are not resolvable. 2406 and 6809 are not defined in exon 4. Exon 4 would resolve 24020101 from 2409N and 2411N. 24020101, 680102/11N is unresolvable from 2407, 680301.

16

A*2502, 7401 or 2502, 7402 or 3201, 6601

7402 is not defined in exon 4. 2502, 7401 is unresolvable from 3201, 6601.
