• Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) - This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders authored and edited by Drs. Moyra Smith, Victor A. McKusick and their colleagues at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere, and developed for the World Wide Web by NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The database contains textual information, pictures, and reference information. It also contains copious links to NCBI's Entrez database of MEDLINE articles and sequence information. The following are direct links to MHC entries:

  • HLA-A

  • HLA-B

  • HLA-C

  • HLA-DMA

  • HLA-DMB

  • HLA-DNA

  • HLA-DOB

  • HLA-DPA1

  • HLA-DPB1

  • HLA-DQA1

  • HLA-DQB1

  • HLA-DR

  • HLA-E

  • HLA-G

  • HLA-H

• IMGT/HLA Database - The IMGT/HLA Database is part of the international ImMunoGeneTics IMGT project and provides a specialist sequence databases for sequences of the human major histocompatibility complex (HLA). This includes all official sequences for the WHO HLA Nomenclature Committee For Factors of the HLA System. Development of this database has been undertaken by James Robinson, Julia G Bodmer and Steven GE Marsh. [UK]
