title: Identification of a novel human DRB1*13 allele by sequence-based DRB typing.
abstract: Herein, we report on a novel DRB1 allele (DRB1*1368) identified during sequence-based HLA-DRB typing. This new DRB1 allele is identical to DRB1*1301 at exon 2 except for a single-nucleotide substitution at codon 37, changing the amino acid Asn to Asp.
