Sequencing of a single HLA-B genotype including two rare alleles allows the detection of a new allele, B*44:130

The novel HLA-B*44:130 allele was found in a Spanish donor. B*44:130 differs from B*44:40 by four nucleotide changes at codons 11, 12 and 24, producing three amino acid replacements, 11A>S, 12M>V and 24T>S.
