title: Complementary DNA sequence of the HLA-B*3924 allele.
abstract: We have isolated the complete coding region of HLA-B*39 from a Spanish Caucasoid, using a new PCR primer for its 5' untranslated region. The cDNA matched partial genomic sequences of B*3924, an allele whose distribution appears to be restricted to Mediterranean and Arabian Caucasoids. A single amino acid change exclusive to B*3924 (threonine-98) distinguishes it from B*3903.
