title: Description of six new HLA-B alleles in the 5C CREG including a B*58 intron two sequence.
abstract: Five of the six novel HLA-B alleles described in this report contain polymorphic motifs previously reported in HLA-B alleles, suggesting an origin resultant from a gene conversion mechanism. The sixth allele, B*35012, contains a polymorphism previously unreported in HLA-B molecules. In addition to previously reported polymorphisms, B*5806 carries a previously unreported intronic substitution in a sequencing primer annealing site.
