title: Novel HLA-B alleles formed by an inter-locus recombination with HLA-C, HLA-B*0713 and B*6702.
abstract: This paper describes two novel HLA-B locus alleles. B*0713 appears to have resulted from an interlocus recombinational event which inserted a sequence from an HLA-C allele into B*0702. This event altered a significant portion of the alpha-1 domain alpha helix. B*6702 shares much of its exon 2 sequence with B*0713 but is identical in exon 3 to several HLA-B locus alleles including B*67012.
