Abstract excerpt
The development of molecular techniques for HLA typing has allowed the identification of genes previously assigned as serologic blank alleles. Lack or poor cell surface expression has been found for molecules coded by HLA-A, -B, -DRB4, -DRB5, and -DPB1 genes. In this report we describe the first HLA-C gene encoding for a null cell surface molecule. HLA-Cw*0409 N shows a point deletion at position 1095 within exon...
