AB  - Six proteins, one null allele and 22 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G alleles were 
      found in humans. Bonobo, chimpanzee and gorilla only show one allele and 
      orangutan shows five alleles. All Cercopithecus alleles show stop codons at 
      position 164 (Macaca mulatta with seven DNA alleles, Macaca fascicularis with 
      seven DNA alleles and Cercopithecus aethiops with three DNA alleles). Cotton-top 
      tamarin New World monkeys showed 20 DNA and protein alleles; the major 
      histocompatibility complex (MHC)-G New World sequences seem to be closer to MHC-E 
      and lack typical MHC-G primates intron 2-specific deletion. This seems to suggest 
      that MHC-G genes in New World primates are not orthologous and that their 
      function may be similar to that of classical presenting MHC genes.
