title: HLA-B*152703, a novel allele, which has arisen by silent mutation in codon 138.
abstract: A novel human leukocyte antigen-B (HLA-B) allele, officially named B*152703, was found during routine high-resolution sequence-based typing in a Chinese potential hematopoietic stem cell transplantation donor. Compared with the HLA-B*152701 sequence, the B*152703 has a silent substitution at position 486(G-->C) in exon 3.
