Locus chr.6 6p21.31

HLA-A80 (A80) is the least common HLA-A group. The serotype identifies the more common HLA-A*8001 gene product. A80 is almost exclusively found in africa and recent immigrants groups from West Africa

HLA-A80 typing is poor. Most typing is done with SSP-PCR. Most of 8001 are detected with "Blank" serotype.
