Medical Definition of Haplotype

1. The set, made up of one allele of each gene, comprising the genotype. Also used to refer to the set of alleles on one chromosome or a part of a chromosome, i.e. One set of alleles of linked genes. Its main current usage is in connection with the linked genes of the major histocompatibility complex.
