Inactivation of a functional HLA-A gene: A 4-kb deletion turns HLA-A*24 into a pseudogene
2010, Human ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Fifty-one of these alleles are null alleles, which lack a serologically detectable product; three alleles show reduced cell surface expression (HLA-A*02:01:01:02L, A*24:02:01:02L, A*30:14L); and in two cases, the correct expression is questionable (HLA-A*32:11Q, A*23:19Q) [3]. The expression deficiency can be caused by point mutations giving rise to premature stop codons [4-7] deletions, or insertions leading to a frame shift and a premature termination [4,8-13], deletions or mutations causing a structural defect in the molecule [14,15], mutations affecting transcription [16,17] and RNA splicing [4,8,18,19], or hypermethylation leading to gene inactivation [20]. Within the HLA class I region, up to 12 different pseudogenes have been recognized [21].
