title: A novel HLA-A*33 (A*3309) allele in a Caucasian family that differs at protein position 66 from HLA-A*3308.
abstract: A novel human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-A33 (HLA-A*3309) allele has been identified in a Caucasian family from Middle Europe using single allele-specific sequencing strategy. This allele is identical to the HLA-B*3308 allele except for one point mutation in exon 2 at codon 66 (AAA-->AAT), resulting in an amino acid change from lysine (K) to asparagine (N).
