ABSTRACT
A novel HLA-Cw*15 allele , Cw*1508, has been found in the Peruvian population. This new allele, initially detected as a polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) variant, shows greatest similarity to Cw*1502. The nucleotide sequence of Cw*1508 only differs from that of Cw*1502 at position 539; this change determines the replacement of Leu by Arg 156 in Cw*1508.
