title: Sequence-based typing characterization of the novel HLA-Cw*0340 allele in a Chinese individual.
abstract: The novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw*0340 allele was identified by sequence-based typing in a Chinese individual. This allele shows that the sequences of exons 2-3 of HLA-Cw*0340 are identical to those of HLA-Cw*0302, except for a nucleotide substitution that changes CTC to ATC at codon 95, resulting in an amino acid change from Leu to lle in the protein; this allele also shows that the sequences of exons 2-3 of HLA-Cw*0340 are identical to those of HLA-Cw*030401 or HLA-Cw*030403, except for a nucleotide substitution that changes TAC to TCC at codon 116, resulting in an amino acid change from Try to Ser in the protein.
