Characterization of HLA-B*3921 and confirmation of HLA-B*4415, two variant HLA-B alleles identified in the Omani population.
We describe a variant HLA-B*39 allele present in two individuals from Oman, which has been officially named HLA-B*3921. In addition we confirm the existence of HLA-B*4415, an allele closely related to HLA-B*4501 differing only at the Bw4/Bw6 epitope.
