title: A novel HLA-B*40 allele, B*4086, was identified by sequence-based typing in a Chinese donor.
abstract: We report the identification of a novel HLA-B*40 allele, B*4086, which was detected during our routine sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO) HLA typing of a sample from a bone marrow donor and confirmed with sequence-based typing. The name HLA-B*4086 was officially assigned by the WHO Nomenclature Committee in February 2008.
