In this short review, genomic organization of HLA-DR region is presented. Five main DR haplotypes are depicted in schematic figures listing alleles of active DRB genes in each haplotype group. Numbers of different DR molecules which can be produced in individuals possessing various haplotype combinations are shown.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.
