In this report, we describe the identification of a novel DRB4*01 allele, DRB4*01033, found in two Spanish Caucasian individuals. The new allele was detected during routine HLA typing by an unusual pattern of amplification obtained by polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) that did not match with any of the previously described DRB4 alleles. In order to establish the polymorphism responsible for this pattern exons 2 and 3 of the DRB4 locus were amplified and directly sequenced. The new DRB4*01 allele is identical to DRB4*0103101 except for a single nucleotide substitution in codon 78 (TAC-->TAT). This nucleotide change does not cause an amino acid change as both triplets code for a tyrosine.

We present the complete coding sequence of the HLA alleles DRB4*0103101 and DRB4*01033 derived from the lymphoblastoid cell line G081, established from an individual of Spanish Gypsy ethnic origin. This cell was typed by PCR-SSP and reverse SSO as DRB4*0103101 but further characterization of the DRB4 gene by sequence-based typing (SBT) demonstrated heterozygosity at codon 78 (TAC, TAT). With the aim of confirming this polymorphism, RNA isolated from G081 was subjected to RT-PCR using primers designed to recognize specifically the 5' and 3' UT regions of HLA-DRB4 and the product was cloned and sequenced. Nucleotide sequences derived from seven clones confirmed the heterozygosity of G081, as they corresponded to two open reading frames of 801 nucleotides that matched either DRB4*0103101 or the recently described DRB4*01033, for which a partial sequence, spanning exons 2 and 3, has been reported. The phenotype of G081 (A*01; B*0702, *1302/1303; Cw*0602, *07; DRB1*0403, *0701; DRB4*0103101, *01033; DQB1*0202, *0302; DQA1*0201, *0301) is consistent with a proposed association of DRB4*01033 with DRB1*0403 and DQB1*0302.
