Two human examples of multiple-allele genes are the gene of the ABO blood group system, and the human-leukocyte-associated antigen (HLA) genes.

The ABO system in humans is controlled by three alleles, usually referred to as IA, IB, and IO (the "I" stands for isohaemagglutinin). IA and IB are codominant and produce type A and type B antigens, respectively, which migrate to the surface of red blood cells, while IO is the recessive allele and produces no antigen

Multiple alleles refers to the Three or more alternative forms of a gene (alleles) that can occupy the same locus. However, only two of the alleles can be present in a single organism. For example, the ABO system of blood groups is controlled by three alleles, only two of which are present in an individual.
