title: Identification of the very uncommon allele HLA-Cw*0716 in a Caucasian renal transplant recipient: extension of the exon 4 sequence.
abstract: This report describes the unknown exon 4 sequence of the rare human leukocyte antigen-Cw*0716 allele, identified in a Caucasian renal transplant recipient from Italy. This sequence is identical to the Cw*070101 allele, and this result allowed us to confirm the hypothesis of the generation of Cw*0716 allele by an interallelic recombination event between Cw*0701/0706/0718 and Cw*020202 allele.
