A new HLA-B18 allele (B*1802) derived from a Thai individual was sequenced. Comparison of this B18 nucleotide sequence with the published B*1801 sequence indicated that this Asian B18 allele has a nucleotide sequence different from that of B*1801. Three nucleotide changes were observed in exon 3, in which two substitutions at codon 97, AGG in B*1801 to AAT in the B*1802, result in an amino acid change from...
