Novel HLA-DR2 and -DR3 haplotypes among Norwegian Caucasians.
In the Northern European population, all DR2 haplotypes encoded by DRB1*1501 have previously been found to carry the DQA1*0102 and DQB1*0602 alleles, and DR3 haplotypes have been found to carry the DQA1*0501 and DQB1*0201 alleles. Here we report a novel recombinant DR2 haplotype carrying the DRB1*1501, DQA1*0102 and DQB1*0603 alleles as well as a novel recombinant DR3 haplotype carrying the DRB1*0301, DRB3*0101, DQA1*0102 and DQB1*0602 alleles.
