The aim of this report was to compare our data with data presented in the European Federation for Immunogenetics (EFI) catalogue (version 1.0) and to evaluate whether or not current (CUR) HLA alleles found in the Croatian population fall into the same categories of common (COM) or well‐documented (WD) HLA alleles as those listed in the EFI catalogue. Among 237 HLA‐A, ‐B, ‐DRB1 alleles observed in the Croatian population so far, 181 alleles were observed ≥3 times. According to our criteria, 36 alleles at HLA‐A locus, 71 alleles at HLA‐B locus and 51 alleles at HLA‐DRB1 locus were characterised as CUR in Croatia (COM or WD in EFI catalogue), while 23 local HLA alleles are not listed at all among COM or WD alleles in EFI catalogue.
