'''HLA-B47''' (B47) is an HLA&ndash;B serotype. The serotype identifies the HLA-B*47 gene products (B*4701, B*4702, B*4703) .<ref name="pmid15787720">{{cite journal |pmc=2848993 |year=2010 |last1=Marsh |first1=S.

B47 is generally low in frequency and with highest known frequencies in Central and Western Africa. (For terminology help see: HLA-serotype tutorial)

Serotyping for B47 is poor and typing is best performed with SSP-PCR or gene sequencing.

==Disease Associations== B47 is linked to Adrenal 21-hydroxylase deficiency.<ref name="pmid3257938" /> The {{gene|CYP21}} gene is located close to B47 between {{gene|HLA-B}} and {{Gene|HLA-DRB1}} locus.
