title: A novel HLA allele, B*4104, identified in a cord blood donor.
abstract: Results from a number of HLA typing methods prompted the DNA sequencing (SBT) of a cord blood sample at the HLA-B locus. A novel HLA-B allele, B*4104, was identified. This was confirmed by sequencing the mother of the cord blood unit for HLA-B.
