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.[1] 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)
