Background: Although there are many possible causes for cervical dystonia (CD), a specific etiology cannot be identified in most cases. Prior studies have suggested a relationship between autoimmune disease and some cases of CD, pointing to possible immunological mechanisms.
Objective: The goal was to explore the potential role of multiple different immunological mechanisms in CD.
The HLA-B*53:69 allele differs from HLA-B*53:01:01:01 by two nucleotide changes in exon 3.

All donors were typed for their HLA class I and II alleles at high resolution by Next Generation Sequencing techniques. Comparison between the sequences obtained from these donors and those in the IPD-IMGT/HLA Database, revealed 122 Novel HLA alleles that were found in 133 donors.
