HLA-A36
HLA-A36 (A36) is a rare HLA-A serotype. The serotype identifies the more common HLA-A*36 gene products. A36 is more common in Africans. Additional recommended knowledgeSerotype
Distribution
A36 is largely limited to Africa. Outside of Africa more than half of the populations have no A36 and the majority that do, have only trace levels. The exception is in Central/East Central Asia. This appears not to be coincidental. HLA DR3-DQ2 linkage and frequency indicates a strong possibility of a recent migration from either North or West Africa in which the DR3-DQ2 (notably DRB1*0302) and A*33-B*58 haplotypes were carried into and redistributed from Central Asia into the surrounding populations.
