title: The new HLA-Cw*0524 allele increase the variability of position 49 in HLA-C.
abstract: The identification of the novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw*0524, which was found in a potential stem cell donor, is described. The sequence of the new allele differs from HLA-Cw*0501 and HLA-Cw*0503 by a nonsynonymous amino acid (AA) exchanges at position 49.
