title: A novel allele HLA-B*550203 was identified by polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing.
abstract: One nucleotide difference was shown at position 594 in exon 3 from C to T between human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*550203 and HLA-B*550201, which does not alter amino acids in the mature protein.
