This report presents a novel allele, HLA-B*4427, which was identified in a bone marrow donor of Caucasian origin, and a confirmatory sequence (B*44022). Sequence analysis revealed the new allele differs from B*44021 by a single nucleotide exchange at position 668 (C-->T), which is located in exon 4. At the protein level, it is the only B*44 variant to produce an Ala in place of a Val at codon 199. Its structure suggests that it may have originated from a point mutation in B*44021 or by gene conversion with a variety of HLA-B alleles. Cloning and sequencing of the allele B*44022 revealed a sequence identical to B*44021 and B*44 exon 4, with the codon GTC (Val) in position 199.

To identify novel genes engaged in plant epidermal development, we characterized the phenotypic variability of rosette leaf epidermis of 310 sequenced Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, focusing on trichome shape and distribution, compositional characteristics of the trichome cell wall, and histologically detectable metal ion distribution. Some of these traits correlated with cLimate parameters of our accession's locations of origin, suggesting environmental selection. A novel metal deposition pattern in stomatal guard cells was observed in some accessions.

Background: The molecular genetic diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is very challenging due to the high homology between the CYP21A2 gene and its pseudogene CYP21A1P.
Methodology: This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of targeted long-read sequencing (T-LRS) by comparing it with a control method based on the combined assay (NGS, Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and Sanger sequencing) and to introduce T-LRS as a first-tier diagnostic test for suspected CAH patients to improve the precise diagnosis of CAH.
Results: A large cohort of 562 participants including 322 probands and 240 family members was enrolled for the perspective (96 probands) and prospective study (226 probands).
