|Alleles||A*2901 </br> A*2902 </br> A*2903| |Structure (See
HLA-A)| 2901 2902 2903 HLA-A29 (A29) is an HLA-A serotype. The
serotype identifies the more common HLA-A*29 gene products. A29
is a split antigen of the A19 broad antigen serotype group. It
is similar to the antigens A30, A31, A32, A33, and A74. A31 is
more common in Japan, Siberia and Indigenous Americans. It is

A29-Cw16-B44(A*2902:Cw*1601:B*4403) appears to have originated
in West Africa were Cw*16 frequency is highest and had undergone
more linkage equilibrium. Cw*16 decline slowly heading north and
more rapidly to the east and northeast, with the highest
frequency/latitude north generally along Eastern Spain
