Deduced probable HLA-C*07:359-associated human leukocyte antigen haplotypes found by case analysis of Taiwanese unrelated bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell donors

Conclusion Information on the ethnicity of the C*07:359 allele and its deduced probable HLA haplotypes that are associated with the low-incidence C*07:359 allele reported here are of value to HLA testing laboratories for reference purposes. In addition, they can be used by stem cell transplantation donor search coordinators to determine a strategy for finding compatible donors using unrelated bone marrow donor registries when patients carry this uncommon HLA allele.
