title: Identification of a new HLA DRB1 allele (HLA-DRB1*1167) in a potential hematopoietic stem cell donor from Iraqi Kurdistan.
abstract: High-resolution polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific primer typing and sequence-based typing of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene DRB1 in a potential hematopoietic stem cell donor of Kurdish ethnicity revealed a new allelic variant of HLA-DRB1*11. The sequence was named DRB1*1167, and comparison with previously described DRB1 alleles demonstrated a mixed pattern shared with some DRB1*08 alleles.
