title: Identification of a new HLA-DRB1*14 variant, HLA-DRB1*1478, in a Korean individual.
abstract: We report the identification of novel allele HLA-DRB1*1478 that was found during routine high-resolution sequence-based typing of the cord blood unit in Korean population. The DRB1*1478 allele shows two nucleotide differences from DRB1*1463 in exon 2 at nucleotide position 344 (G-->T) and 345 (T-->G), resulting in an amino acid change, Gly86Val.
