Abstract
In this paper we report the identification oi a new HLA-A*02 allele in two members of an Afghan family. This novel allele, designed as A*02202, differ s from A*02201 by a silent substitution at codon 66 (AAC double right arrow AAT) in the alpha1 domain. A*02202 appears to be the result oi a novel mut ation.
