*1.2.1. Undocumented regions and novel alleles*

As the database is far from complete, finding novel sequences or known alleles with unknown intronic parts is pretty likely, even during a single sequencing run. According to our findings, most of the novelties are in introns/UTRs, since these regions were not investigated as thoroughly as exons. However, even for a small sample size, it is possible to find novelties in exons. In many cases, novelties have to be confirmed by an alternative method, and only high quality data should be accepted for confirmatory typing because algorithms frequently assign novel flags to low quality or failed samples.
