Description of HLA-A*0127N, a novel nonexpressed allele identified by SBT.
We describe the isolation and characterization of a novel HLA-A null allele, officially named A*0127N. The A*0127N exon 2, 3, and 4 nucleotide sequence is identical to that of A*010101 except at position 553, where a G is substituted by a T, resulting in a coding change in exon 3 (GAG>TAG) from Glu to the stop codon AMB. The mutation described is responsible for the premature ending of the translation.
