The frequencies of DRB1*08 alleles within four major United States populations found within a hematopoietic stem cell volunteer donor database were determined by DNA sequencing of over 60 DRB1*08 positive individuals from each group. Seven of 30 known DRB1*08 alleles were identified within this study population (080101, 080201, 080302, 080401, 0806, 0807, and 0811). Each ethnic group was characterized by a different highly prevalent allele: DRB1*080101 in Caucasians; DRB1*080401 in African-Americans; DRB1*080302 in Asians; and DRB1*080201 in Hispanics. The alleles DRB1*080101, DRB1*080201, and DRB1*080401 were present in all four populations. This report also describes five novel DRB1*08 alleles uncovered during routine human leukocyte antigen typing.
