Nomenclature for factors of the HLA system, update July, August and September 2022

The following sequences have been submitted to the Nomenclature Committee since the April, May and June 2022 nomenclature update (Marsh, 2022) and, following agreed policy, have been assigned official allele designations (Marsh et al., 2010). Full details of all sequenceswill be published in a forthcoming report. Below are listed the newly assigned sequences (Table 1) and confirmations of previously reported sequences (Table 2). The accession number of each sequence is given and these can be used to retrieve the sequence files from the EMBL, GenBank or DDBJ data libraries. Although accession numbers have been assigned by the data libraries and most sequences are already available, there is still the possibility that an author may not yet have allowed the sequence to be released; in such a case, you will have to contact the submitting author directly. Additional information pertaining to new sequences is often included in the publications describing these alleles; a listing of recent publications that describe new HLA sequences is given in Table 3.
