Alleles B*8301
Structure (See HLA-B)
Symbol(s) HLA-B
EBI-HLA B*8301
Locus chr.6 6p21.31


HLA-B*83 (B83) is an HLA-B allele-group composed of a single allele, B*8301. There is no useful serology associated with this allele.[1] It is found in a single Mbenzele Pygmy tribe of the Central Africa Republic at 1.5%.[2] B*8301 appears to be the result of the replacement of exon 2 from B*4402 with exon 2 from B*5603.[3]
