Locations of HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C on chromosome 6 (Chen drew the figure). For humans, the major histocompatibility complex is the human leucocyte antigen (HLA), which is located on the short arm of chromosome 6. The HLA region could be divided into three parts: HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C are in the class I region. HLA-A is near the telomere, whereas HLA-B is relatively close to the centromere, and C is between A and B, closer to B. In addition, many other gene loci reported in HLA were not detected in our analysis.
