New HLA-A allele, A*0339, identified in a Spanish patient.
A novel human leukocyte antigen-A allele, officially named A*0339, was found in a patient when sequence-based typing was carried out for unrelated stem cell donor search. A*0339 differs from A*03010101 in a point mutation at codon 102 (GAC-->TAC), generating an exchange of amino acid from Asp to Tyr.
