title: A new MICA allele, MICA*007:07, characterized by cloning and sequencing.
abstract: A new MICA allelic variant, MICA*007:07, was identified in an individual of Mongol ethnicity in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, northern China. Following polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT), this new allele was further confirmed by cloning and sequencing. MICA*007:07 differs from MICA*007:01 by a synonymous mutation from G to A at the 2nd nucleotide position in exon 2. MICA*007:07 was linked to HLA-B*27:05.
