Nomenclature

Hyphen used to SUFFIX EXPRESSION STATUS separate name Field from HLA prefix Separator Separators L Low surface expression when compared to normal levels.

HLA-DRB4*01:03:01:02N S Expressed as a soluble, secreted molecule but is not present on the cell surface.

HLA Prefix Gene Field 1 Field 3 Suffix C that produce proteins that are present in the cytoplasm and not on the cell surface. Group used to show used to a synonymous denote DNA substitution changes in A Aberrant expression where there is some doubt as to whether a is actually expressed. within the expression coding region Q Expression of an allele is questionable, given that the mutation seen in the allele has Field 2 Field 4 been shown to affect normal expression levels in other alleles. Specific used to show HLA Protein differences in a non-coding region N Alleles that have been shown not to be expressed (null).
