HLA-B52 (B52) is an HLA-B serotype. The serotype identifies the more common HLA-B*52 gene products.[1]

B52 is a split antigen of the broad antigen B5, and is a sister type of B51. B*5201 likely formed as a result of a gene conversion event between another HLA-B allele and HLA-B*5101.[2] There are a number of alleles within the B*52 allele group.[3]
