title: HLA-B*9553: a novel HLA allele shown in three generations of a family.
abstract: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*9553, a novel HLA-B allele, was identified in a volunteer hematopoietic stem cell donor. HLA-B*9553 differs from the closely related allele HLA-B*1518 in one single nucleotide substitution resulting in an amino acid substitution.
