Table 3.

Comparison of part of the sequences of B*53:01:01:01, B*53:06, and B*51:01:01:04 illustrating that B*53:06 may have arisen by a gene conversion event with double cross over, recombining B*51:01:01:04 and a B*53 allele

Heterozygous positions that are identical for B*53:01:01:01 and B*53:06 are in light grey, heterozygous positions identical for B*51:01:01:04 and B*53:06 are in dark grey

I intron, E exon, UTR untranslated region, number indicates the position of the genomic sequence according to the IPD-IMGT/HLA database
