Summary A novel allele HLA‐B*2730 and the haplotype HLA‐A*03‐B*2730‐Cw*02‐DRB1*16‐DRB5 have been found in a Slovene patient and his mother. The exon 2 sequence is identical to that of HLA‐B*2702, and the exon 3 sequence is identical to that of HLA‐B*2719. A possible mechanism for the generation of B*2730 is a gene conversion event.
