Abstract excerpt
Using sequence-based typing method we discovered two new HLA-B*40 variants, B*40:137 and B*40:158, in Taiwanese individuals. The sequence of B*40:137 has three nucleotide (nt) changes from B*40:21 at nt 353 (C→T), nt 355 (C→A) and nt 369 (C→T) resulting two coding changes at residue 94 (T→I) and residue 95 (L→I), whereas the sequence of B*40:158 differs from B*40:01:01 with five nt substitutes at nt 463 (C→A), nt...
