title: Full-length sequence of a novel HLA-B*15:220 allele identified in an individual from Guadeloupe.
abstract: The new HLA-B*15:220 allele shows a single-nucleotide substitution in exon 1 at position 47 (C>T) when compared to its closest allele HLA-B*15:03:01, resulting in an amino acid substitution from Ala to Val in the signal peptide at codon -9.
