Sequence-based typing characterization of the novel HLA-Cw*1609 allele in the Moroccan Chaouya group.
The novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw*1609 allele was identified by sequence-based typing in a Moroccan Chaouya donor. It differs from the closest Cw*1602 by only one nucleotide (C --> G) at position 244 in exon 2 (Glu to Gln at codon 58 in alpha1 domain).
