title: Identification of a new HLA-A null allele, A*2436 N.
abstract: We describe a new HLA-A null allele in a donor. This null allele resulted from the deletion of two nucleotides in exon 2, which effects a frameshift as well as a premature stop codon. This new null allele has been officially named HLA-A*2436 N.
