The genomic organization of the HLA-DR genes, in the human MHC locus on chromosome 6p21.3, is displayed with the DR serological families which are encoded by the HLA-DRB3/4/5 gene and the HLA-DRB1 gene, respectively.

Examples of HLA-DR3/4/5 and HLA-DRB1 alleles found in the different HLA-DR haplotypes are indicated below the gene representations.

The localization of the HLA-DR genes is from position 2693617 (HLA-DRA 5' end) to position 2820421 (HLA-DRB1 3' end), on chromosome 6p21.3, according to IMGT/GeneSearch, IMGT/GeneView, IMGT/LocusView, based on the Sanger MHC list of May 2000 (complete sequencing of the locus).
The MHC Haplotype Project will allow to specify the positions of the HLA-DR genes in different haplotypes .
