Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

HLA-DQB1*06:48 has single nucleotide polymorphisms within codons 70 and 62 of exon 2 (GGG>AGG and AAG>AAC) relative to HLA-DQB1*06:02:01 and HLA-DQB1*06:37. This results in amino acid differences (G>R and K>N) that will change the polarity and charge of the encoded antigen and may therefore affect its peptide repertoire.
