Identification of a new HLA-A*11 allele, HLA-A*1135, by sequence-based typing in Korean individual

A novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A allele has been identified in the cord blood of a Korean baby. New HLA-A*1135 allele was different from HLA-A*1131 by three nucleotide substitution at codon 142 (ATC-->ACC) and codon 163 (CGG-->ACG), resulting in two amino acid change, Ile 142 Thr and Arg 163 Thr.
