title: Twelve novel HLA-B*15 alleles carrying previously observed sequence motifs are placed into B*15 subgroups.
abstract: Twelve new B*15 alleles are described. All of the known B*15 alleles are divided into subgroups based on serologic assignments and/or nucleotide sequence polymorphisms. These groups might be used as a reference for DNA-based testing at an intermediate (i.e. "serologic") level of resolution.
