major histocompatibility complex (human), class I, B78 Alleles B*7801 B*7802 Structure (See HLA-B) Symbol(s) HLA-B EBI-HLA B*7801 EBI-HLA B*7802 Locus chr.6 6p21.31
HLA-B78 (B78) is an HLA-B serotype. The serotype identifies the more common HLA-B*78 gene products. B78 is more common in West and North Africa, but is also scattered at low frequencies in parts of Asia. (For terminology help see: HLA-serotype tutorial)
