Abstract excerpt
HLA-B2703, a mutation of HLA-B2705, is characterized by a Tyr-to-His substitution at position 59 in the alpha 1 domain of the class-I heavy chain. So far, the HLA-B2703 subtype was found only in two Black individuals and it is the first polymorphism at position 59 of MHC class-I molecules. We hav...
