decode_MAC {immunotation} | R Documentation |
Decode a multiple allele code (MAC) into a list of HLA alleles. #' The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) uses [MAC](https://bioinformatics.bethematchclinical.org/ hla-resources/allele-codes/allele-code-lists/) to facilitate the reporting and comparison of HLA alleles. MAC represent groups of HLA alleles and are useful when the HLA typing is ambiguous and does not allow to narrow down one single allele from a list of alleles.
