IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics project, is a collection of high-quality integrated databases specialising in Immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) of all vertebrate species. IMGT/HLA is a database for sequences of the human MHC, referred to as HLA. It includes all the official sequences for the WHO Nomenclature Committee For Factors of the HLA System. This collection references allele information through the WHO nomenclature.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in IMGT/HLA human major histocompatibility complex sequence database should match this regular expression:
^[A-Z0-9*:]+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

A*01:01:01:01   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from IMGT/HLA human major histocompatibility complex sequence database should match this regular expression:
^imgt\.hla:[A-Z0-9*:]+$

Example CURIE

imgt.hla:A*01:01:01:01

FHIR External Terminologies

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 11 mappings to external registries for this resource with 9 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier A*01:01:01:01 is used to demonstrate the providers available for IMGT/HLA human major histocompatibility complex sequence database. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
