Genes encoding three new members of the leukocyte antigen 6 superfamily and a novel member of Ig superfamily, together with genes encoding the regulatory nuclear chloride ion channel protein (hRNCC) and a N(ω)-N(ω)- dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase homologue, are found in a 30-kb segment of the MHC class III region
