==Function== As with other proteins produced from class I genes, proteins produced by HLA-C are found on the surface of almost all cells, and display these protein fragments (peptides) to the [[immune system]]. The immune system then identifies any proteins it recognizes as foreign (such as viral or bacterial peptides), and triggers the destruction of the cell.<ref name="ghr-primer" /> HLA associations are considered "hallmarks of autoimmune disease".<ref name="Lande2020" /> Different variations in HLA-C have been linked to alopecia areata, psoriatic arthritis, susceptibility to psoriasis and susceptibility to HIV type 1.<ref name="HLA-C-ghr">{{Cite web | url=https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene/HLA-C | title = HLA-C gene | last = | first = |website=Genetics Home Reference|language=en|access-date=2020-05-06}}</ref>
