The original L36092 sequence (684973 bp) has been split in EMBL into three sequences of 267156 bp (U66059), 215422 bp (U66060) and 232650 bp (U66061), L36092 has become secondary accession number of U66059, U66060 and U66061. In IMGT, the original sequence L36092 which is fully annotated has also been kept as primary accession number, in addition to U66059, U66060 and U66061 (Rowen L. et al. The complete 685-kilobase DNA sequence of the human beta T cell receptor locus. PMID: 8650574).
Arbitrary limits of the DNA sequence assigned to the different TRBV genes. V-GENE positions are those in the Accession number L36092.
V-GENE is partial: no L-PART1, no V-HEPTAMER, no V-NONAMER and V-REGION is partial: AA 100 to 108 are absent (partial FR3-IMGT and no CDR3-IMGT).

G position 47 is missing, ACT position 70 to 72 are missing, A position 110 inserted, GGA position 139 to 141 are missing and A position 73 replaced by G, probably typing errors.

Frameshift in V-EXON. Although it is not excluded that the sequence 172780-172829 in L66059, L36092 may represent a very degenerate leader peptide, it was not labeled as L-PART1 for the following reasons (i) the translated sequence is not particularly hydrophobic (ii) the sequence shows no similarity with the other TRBV L-PART1, included the one from TRBV8-2, also a pseudogene but with a clearly identified L-PART1 (iii) the DONOR-SPLICE displays a codon-start 2 instead of being a codon-start 3 (note by M.-P. Lefranc, added on 07/04/2004, following a question by V. Herle).
L14431 differs from TRBV7-4*01 by the nucleotide DELETION (c255>del) and (t266>del) which create a frameshift.
V-GENE is partial: partial L-PART1, no V-HEPTAMER, no V-NONAMER and V-REGION is partial: AA 25 to 108 are absent (partial FR1-IMGT, no CDR1-IMGT, no FR2-IMGT, no CDR2-IMGT, no FR3-IMGT, no CDR3-IMGT).

The complete 685-kilobase DNA sequence of the human beta T cell receptor locus. PMID: 8650574)..
V-REGION is partial: AA 105 to 108 are absent (no CDR3-IMGT).
This gene was previously entered in the databases as V21.2, M33234 [13], but has been shown to contain several nucleotide errors.
The insertion of 1 nt in the L-PART1 of AB305822, compared to the L-PART1 of AB305924, may be due to a sequencing error.
V-GENE is partial: no V-NONAMER.
V-GENE is partial: no L-PART1, no V-HEPTAMER, no V-NONAMER and V-REGION is partial: AA 90 to 108 are absent (partial FR3-IMGT and no CDR3-IMGT).

V-GENE is partial: no L-PART1, no V-HEPTAMER, no V-NONAMER and V-REGION is partial: AA 99 to 108 are absent (partial FR3-IMGT and no CDR3-IMGT).
1st_CYS replaced by STOP-CODON in V-EXON.
The not confirmed TRBV6-2*02 (P) and TRBV6-2*03 (P) alleles were deleted (13/07/2018). M31347 (g#) (formerly TRBV6-2*02 (P)) was assigned to TRBV6-2*01 with a deletion of 1 nt 'g' (nt 147) due to a probable sequencing error in V-REGION (Assignment of rearranged cDNAs and gDNAs to germline genes: Human TRBV).
STOP-CODON in FR2-IMGT
In the human TRB locus, the TRBV30 gene is localized in 3' from the TRBC2 gene and is in inverted orientation of transcription. Due to its polarity opposite to the TRB D-J-C-CLUSTERs, TRBV30 rearranges by an inversional joining (Rowen L. et al. The complete 685-kilobase DNA sequence of the human beta T cell receptor locus. PMID: 8650574).
