Description of a novel HLA-B35 (B*3514) allele found in a Mexican family of Nahua Aztec descent.

Abstract excerpt

A new allele, HLA-B*3514, has been found in a Mexican family from Nahua descent. Its exon 2 is identical to that of B*3501 allele, but exon 3 bears a 3-base difference at codons 152 and 156, which results in Val-->Glu and Leu-->Trp changes, respectively, in the corresponding HLA molecule at the peptide-binding site. These substitutions may have originated from a DNA stretch donation from an allele belonging to...
