title: The new HLA-Cw*0442 allele possibly generated by a recombination event involving Cw*04010101 and Cw*1801.
abstract: A new human leukocyte antigen-C (HLA-C) allele Cw*0442 was identified in a Spanish Caucasian patient by sequencing-based typing (SBT). HLA-Cw*0442 differs from Cw*04010101 by three amino acid replacements at positions 9 (S>D), 11 (S>A), and 14 (W>R).
