A novel HLA‐B allele, HLA‐B*35:279, identified by sequencing‐based typing in a Czech patient

Summary The identification of a novel HLA‐B*35:279 allele in a Czech patient is described. This allele is identical to the B*35:03:01 variant except the G/A nucleotide exchange at position 652 of the HLA‐B gene that corresponds to the amino acid substitution from valine to isoleucine in alpha 3 domain of the HLA‐B antigen.
