Decode MAC

Description

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.

Usage

decode_MAC(MAC)

Arguments

MAC	multiple allele code (e.g. "A*01:ATJNV")

Value

list of HLA alleles

Examples

MAC <- "A*01:ATJNV"
