Abstract excerpt
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I sequencing typing of a cord blood unit obtained from an Ecuadorian family showed the presence of the recently described A*6836 and B*3922 alleles. Sequences of these two antigens were confirmed and completed. Additionally, a new HLA-B allele, B*3579, was found in the same family, showing a difference of one amino acid residue at position 211 (Ala > Glu) compared with B*3543.
