title: The new HLA-C allele, Cw*0220, shows a new polymorphism at amino acid position 169.
abstract: The new human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-C allele, Cw*0220, was identified in a Spanish Caucasian patient by sequence-based typing. HLA-Cw*0220 differs from Cw*020202 by a single amino acid replacement at constant position 169 (R > H).
