PCR-SSOP (sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe), PCR-SSP (sequence specific primer), SBT (sequence based typing), N/T (Not tested), N/D (Not detected), N/E (Not evaluated).

*

HLA-DRB1 typing was performed but analysis was performed at low-resolution and therefore not considered for this review.

**

Not evaluated due to low frequency in population studied.

***

Not evaluated in this manuscript since previously reported in a separate publication.
