Four novel human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles were identified by sequencing-based typing (SBT) and analysis of the closest-matching alleles from volunteer subjects from the Brazilian Bone Marrow Donor Register (REDOME, Brazil). The new HLA alleles discovered include DRB1*04:11:03, DRB1*10:05, DRB1*15:94 and DRB1*16:22. Three of the novel alleles had single-nucleotide substitution polymorphisms when compared to their most homologous allele. Of these, one harboured a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) identified as a silent substitution.
