title: [Identification of a novel HLA-A allele A*11:01:37 by sequence-based typing].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify a novel HLA-A allele in a Chinese Han individual.
  
  
  METHODS
  One mismatch was observed in HLA-A locus in HLA typing for CMDP donors using bi-allelic SBT kit. A confirmatory test for novel HLA allele was performed with mono-allelic SBT kit.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The DNA sequence was confirmed to be a novel HLA-A allele. There was 1 nucleotide differed from the closest matching HLA-A*11:01:01 at position 393(G→A), which resulting a change from GGG to GGA at codon 107, led to a silent mutation, conserving the amino acid Gly.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A novel HLA-A allele was confirmed and officially named HLA-A*11:01:37 (Genbank accession number, JN209962) by the WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System in January 2012.
