Summary HLA ‐ DQB 1*06:48 has single nucleotide polymorphisms within codons 70 and 62 of exon 2 ( GGG > AGG and AAG > AAC ) relative to HLA ‐ DQB 1*06:02:01 and HLA ‐ DQB 1*06:37. This results in amino acid differences ( G > R and K > N ) that will change the polarity and charge of the encoded antigen and may therefore affect its peptide repertoire.
