Sequencing of heterozygotes and isolated alleles identified 9 of the 17 known alleles," scientists in the United States report.

"The alleles provide confirmation of previously submitted sequences and are carried by transformed B-cell lines that can be used as references for assay development. Alleles 3DL2*001, *002, *007 and *009 accounted for 111 of the total 144 possible alleles and were the only ones...
