title: Characterization of new HLA-B and -DRB1 alleles from Singapore.
abstract: Six novel alleles, three human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B and three HLA-DRB1 alleles, are described. Five of the variants are single nucleotide substitutions from their most homologous allele, of which three result in amino acid changes (B*3572, *9509 and DRB1*1157) and two are silent substitutions (B*370103 and DRB1*150204). DRB1*0462 differs by three nucleotide substitutions that alter two amino acids.
