title: Identification of a novel HLA-DRB1 allele through sequence-based typing of an Italian patient candidate for kidney transplant.
abstract: In this report, we describe the identification of the novel HLA-DRB1*13:120 that differs from the closest matching allele HLA-DRB1*13:65 at two nucleotidic position in the exon 2.
