Abstract

A project of the 15th International Histocompatibility Workshop examined the rarity of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. A section was constructed in the website, www.allelefrequencies.net to contain this data from different sources. A mechanism to search the data was implemented for use by any individual.
