title: A novel HLA-B*46 allele, B*4609, identified by sequence-based typing in a Chinese donor.
abstract: A novel human leukocyte antigen-B allele, B*4609, has been identified. The B*4609 allele has one nucleotide change from the closest matching allele B*460101 resulting in an amino acid change from E (GAG) to V (GTG) at codon 176.
