HLA Nomenclature Update - 6/16/2009
Changes to the HLA Nomenclature will be officially introduced in April 2010. Lists of old and new allele names will be made available through the IMGT/HLA Database and will be implemented with the April 2010 release of the database.

ASHI will join together with EFI, NMDP, and WMDA (World Marrow Donor Association) to form a task force that will address the changes in nomenclature and provide guidelines to meet the needed changes.
