title: Identification of a novel HLA-B allele, B*56:31, by sequence-based typing in a Lithuanian individual.
abstract: A novel allele HLA-B*56:31 differs from HLA-B*56:18 by three nucleotide substitutions resulting in a missense mutation Tyr171His (TAC to CAC) encoded in exon 3 and two silent substitutions at codon 188His (CAC to CAT) and codon 228Thr (ACT to ACC) encoded in exon 4.
