A new DQA1 allele (DQA1*0510) in a Spanish celiac disease patient

Abstract
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQA1*0510 has been identified in a Spanish patient diagnosed with celiac disease. DQA1*0510 differs from DQA1*0505/09 by a point mutation at exon 2 producing an amino acid replacement at codon 77 (I>V).
