major histocompatibility complex (human), class I, B59 Alleles B*5901 Structure (See HLA-B) Symbol(s) HLA-B EBI-HLA B*5901 Locus chr.6 6p21.31
HLA-B59 (B59) is an HLA-B serotype. The serotype identifies the more common HLA-B*## gene products. B59 is a hybrid between B*55 and B*51. B59 is more common in Japan, Korea, N. China and Mongolia. (For terminology help see: HLA-serotype tutorial)
