Identified a novel allele HLA-A*240212 by sequence-based typing.
A novel human leukocyte antigen-A allele, A*240212, has been identified during routine sequence-specific oligonucleotide typing and sequence-based typing in a sample from a registered donor of Chinese Marrow Donor Program. The A*240212 allele differs from the most closely matching allele A*24020101 by one nucleotide substitution in Exon 2, at position 230, while the nucleotide exchange is silent mutation.
