HLA class I assignments were obtained at single genotype, G-level resolution from 98?855 volunteers for an unrelated donor registry in the United States. In spite of the diverse ancestry of the volunteers, over 99% of the assignments at each locus are common. Within this population, 52 novel alleles differing in exons 2 and 3 are identified and characterized. Previously reported alleles with incomplete sequences in the IPD-IMGT/HLA database (n?=?519) were selected for full gene sequencing and, from this sampling, another 27 novel alleles are described.© 2018 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
