title: A novel DRB1*04 allele.
abstract: Discovery of the novel DRB1*0464 allele is described. This allele contains a nucleotide substitution in codon 13 that changes the amino acid histidine coded for in all other DRB1*04 alleles to tyrosine. This allele was found in a parent and one child of a North American Caucasian family with the haplotype: A*03, B*07, DRB1*0464, DRB4*0103, DQB1*0301.
