Deduced probable HLA haplotypes associated with HLA-C*04:82 found by case analysis of Taiwanese individuals

Conclusion The ethnicity of the C*04:82 allele and the deduced probable HLA haplotypes associated with the low-incidence C*04:82 allele are of value for reference purposes for HLA testing laboratories. In addition, they can be used by search coordinators to aid the creation of a strategy for finding compatible stem cell donors for patients who carry this uncommon HLA allele.
