“…The sequence of A*24:20:01:01 , a total of 4256 bp in length was submitted to GenBank and the IPD‐IMGT/HLA Database (HM484297‐HWS10010847), the name was officially assigned by the World Health Organization (WHO) Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System. This follows the agreed policy that, subject to the conditions stated in the most recent Nomenclature Report, names will be assigned to new sequences as they are identified. A list of such new names will be published in the next WHO Nomenclature Report.…”
