Abstract excerpt
A novel human leukocyte antigen-B allele, officially named B*15:144 allele, the previous designation B*9544 allele, was found in a potential Chinese bone marrow donor when direct sequence-based typing was carried out. The novel B*15:144 is identical to B*15:02:01 with the exception of two base substitution at position 195 (C>T), 196 (T>G) of exon 3 resulting in codon #156 changed from CTG (Leu) to TGG (Trp).
