IMGT/HLA Nomenclature Conversion Tool

The WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System will be adopting new nomenclature for HLA allele designations from April 1st 2010. For full details see:

• http://hla.alleles.org/nomenclature/nomenclature_2009.html.

To aid in migration of data to the new nomenclature we are providing conversion tables, see this conversion tool.

The conversion tool allows you to enter an HLA allele name and will provide you with both the current and new versions of the allele name. To use simply enter the Gene Name, an asterisk, and then the allele's numerical designation in either nomenclature format.
