Abstract:
We report the identification of the novel allele HLA-Cw*0760 that was found during confirmatory high-resolution sequence-based typing of a bone marrow donor. The Cw*0760 allele has two nucleotide changes from Cw*070101 at positions 341 and 343 in exon 2, resulting in two amino acid changes from Asp to Ala (codon 90: GAC-->GCC) and Gly to Arg (codon 91: GGG-->AGG).

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.

Tissue Transplantation
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
