Identification of a novel HLA-A*24 allele, HLA-A*2467.

In this report, we describe the identification of a novel human leukocyte antigen-A*24 (HLA-A*24) allele, designated HLA-A*2467. The new allele differs from the most closely related allele HLA-A*2408 at five nucleotide positions all located in exon 2. Four of the five nucleotide changes result in amino acid substitution.
