title: [A new human leukocyte antigen class I allele, HLA- B*52:11].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify and confirm a novel HLA allele.
  
  
  METHODS
  A new human leukocyte antigen class I allele was found during routine HLA genotyping by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSOP) and sequencing-based typing (SBT).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The novel HLA-B*52 allele was identical to B*52:01:01 with an exception of one base substitution at position 583 of exon 3 where a C was changed to T resulting in codon 195 changed from CAC(H) to TAC(Y).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A new HLA class I allele, B*52:11, is identified, and is named officially by the WHO Nomenclature Committee.
