title: Identification of a novel HLA-A allele, A*1131, in a Taiwanese.
abstract: Here we report the identification and sequence analysis of a new HLA-A11* variant, A*1131 allele, found in a Taiwanese volunteer bone marrow donor. The novel A*11 variant is identical to A*1125 in exon 2 but differs from A*1125 in exon 3 by one nucleotide substitution at position 527 causing an amino acid change at codon 152 E-->V (GAG-->GTG). In comparison with HLA-A*110101, allele A*1131 has three nucleotide differences in exon 3: 527 C-->T, 538 C-->T and 539 A-->T leading to two amino acid variations at residues 152 A-->V and 156 Q-->L.
