Summary Two hundred and fifty‐four normal blood donors, from a largely UK European population, were sequence‐based typed for HLA ‐A, HLA ‐B, HLA ‐C, HLA ‐ DRB 1, HLA ‐ DQA 1 and HLA ‐ DQB 1. The fit to H ardy– W einberg expectations was good for all loci (all P values >0.5). Fifteen DQA 1 alleles were identified to the second field. DQA 1 carriage, allele and DQA 1– DQB 1 and DRB 1– DQA 1– DQB 1 haplotype frequencies, linkage disequilibria and related values are presented.
