Identification of a new allele polymorphism (HLA-B*40:79) and correlation with the HLA-B40 (B60 and B61) antigens

Tissue Antigens. 2013 Oct;82(4):293-4. doi: 10.1111/tan.12202.

Abstract

Full gene sequence of the HLA-B*40:79 allele; gene polymorphism defines HLA-B60 and B61 lineages.

Keywords: B40 dimorphism; B60-B61; HLA-B*40:79; new allele; sequence-based typing.
