HLA-A66 (A66) is an HLA-A serotype. The serotype identifies the more common HLA-A*66 gene products. A66 is a split antigen type of the A10 broad antigen type. A*6601 is believed to have been formed by a single gene conversion between another HLA-A and the A*2601 allele.^[1] A66 is more common in Africa and SW Europe. A66 is uncommon.
