Relevance to Autism
Genetic association has been found between the HLA-A gene and autism in a Caucasian population cohort (Torres et al., 2006) as well as with an increase in CD4+ memory T cells in autistic children bearing the HLA A2 and DR11 alleles.
Molecular Function
The encoded protein belongs to the MHC class I receptor and plays a central role in the immune response.
