title: Identification of the novel allele HLA-B*4076 by sequence-based typing in a Chinese individual.
abstract: A novel human leukocyte antigen-B allele, officially named B*4076 allele, was found in a potential Chinese bone marrow donor when direct sequence-based typing was carried out. The novel B*4076 is identical to B*400101 with an exception of one base substitution at position 239(C>A)of exon 2 resulting in codon #80 changed from AAC (Asn) to AAA (Lys).
