Abstract excerpt
We report here a novel HLA-B*9518 allele by sequence-based typing in the Chinese population. The new B*9518 is identical to B*150101 with an exception of one base substitution at position 19 of exon 3 where a 'G' change to 'T' resulting in codon 97 changed from AGG (Arg) to ATG (Met).
