Detailed explanation-2: -The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans refers to a genetic region containing hundreds of genes, including the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes (figure 1). Thus, the human MHC region is also referred to as the HLA region.

Detailed explanation-3: -The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system (the major histocompatibility complex [MHC] in humans) is an important part of the immune system and is controlled by genes located on chromosome 6.
