AB  - The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex is located within the 6p21.3 region on 
      the short arm of human chromosome 6 and contains more than 220 genes of diverse 
      function. Many of the genes encode proteins of the immune system and include many 
      highly polymorphic HLA genes. The naming of new HLA genes and allele sequences 
      and their quality control is the responsibility of the WHO Nomenclature Committee 
      for Factors of the HLA System. The IMGT/HLA Database acts as the repository for 
      these sequences and is recognized as the primary source of up-to-date and 
      accurate HLA sequences. The IMGT/HLA website provides a number of tools for 
      accessing the database: these include allele reports, sequence alignments, and 
      sequence similarity searches. The website is updated every 3 months with all the 
      new and confirmatory sequences submitted to the WHO Nomenclature Committee. 
      Submission of HLA sequences to the committee is possible through the tools 
      provided by the IMGT/HLA Database.
