title: Identification of HLA-DPA1*020107 in an individual of Ugandan descent.
abstract: DPA1*020107 was identified from a woman of Ugandan origin by a taxonomy-based sequence analysis of human leukocyte antigen DPA1. The new allele was confirmed by cloning and sequencing of the polymerase chain reaction products. It is identical to DPA1*020101 with the exception of a single nucleotide synonymous substitution at codon 58 (GGC-->GGT). The World Health Organization Nomenclature Committee has named the allele as DPA1*020107.
