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 10 mappings to external registries for imgt.hla with 8 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE imgt.hla:A*01:01:01:01 is used to demonstrate the provides available for imgt.hla. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
