title: A new allele, HLA-DRB4*010304.
abstract: We report here the identification of a novel DRB4*01 allele, DRB4*010304, found in a patient waiting for a liver transplantation. The new allele was detected during a routine DNA-based HLA typing. Sequencing confirmed that the new allele is identical to DRB4*01030101 at exon 2 except for position 216 where the new allele has a T instead of a C.
