Changes to HLA allele names and their associated accession numbers that occurred in Reference Database versions 3.15.0 – 3.29.0, and the action taken by the WS Database when the original allele name is encountered are shown. The data in all but the last column are derived from the hla_nom.txt and allelelist_history.txt files in Reference Database version 3.28.0.

NA: Not applicable.

1

The allele name in Reference Database version 3.25.0 is A*23:01:01.

2

This current allele name was assigned in Reference Database version 3.27.0.

3

No accession number was released for the DQB1*06:220 allele; this allele name has not appeared in any release version.

4

DQB1*06:01:01 is the lowest numbered allele sharing a common prefix (DQB1*06) with DQB1*06:220 (or DQB1*06:217).

5

This current allele name was assigned in Reference Database version 3.28.0.

6

Both the original and current allele names were assigned in Reference Database version 3.29.0.

7

DQB1*03:01:01:01 is the lowest numbered allele sharing a common prefix (DQB1*03:01:01) with DQB1*03:01:01:13 (or DQB1*03:01:01:07)
