Abstract excerpt
A novel HLA-B*39 variant, found in an African patient with sickle cell anemia undergoing bone marrow transplantation is described. Initially suspected by inconsistent serological typing (B-blank, Bw6), then recognized by PCR-SSP, and finally characterized by nucleotide sequencing, this novel allele is designated HLA-B*3916. It differs from HLA-B*3910 by a point mutation (G to C) at position 17 of exon 3 causing...
