title: DQB1*0323 is the result of a gene conversion event between a DQB1*06 and a DQB1*030303 allele.
abstract: A novel human leukocyte antigen-DQB1 allele, DQB1*0323, was identified in a volunteer hematopoietic stem cell donor. DQB1*0323 differs from the closely related allele DQB1*030303 in five nucleotide positions.
