An HLA-A*2607 variant (A*260702) independently identified in two unrelated French families.
Abstract In this report, we describe the identification of a new variant of the A*2607 allele, named A*260702. This variant was detected independently in two unrelated potential bone marrow donors living in two different regions of France. Molecular typing and mono-allelic sequencing revealed that this allele differs from the original A*2607 allele by a single-nucleotide substitution in codon 56 (GGG --> GGT). This nucleotide change does not affect the amino acid sequence, both triplets coding for a glycine.
