We report the development of MHC*IMP, a method for imputing non-classical HLA and other genes in the human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). We created a reference panel for 25 genes in the MHC using allele calls from Whole Genome Sequencing data, combined with SNP data for the same individuals. We used this to construct an allele imputation model, MHC*IMP, for each gene. Cross-validation showed that MHC*IMP performs very well, with allele prediction accuracy 93% or greater for all but two of the genes, and greater than 95% for all but four.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
