It's going to be hard for people to make good suggestions here without
a concrete example. Can you provide a toy example that is as simple as
possible, while illustrating (some of) the problems you are trying to
solve?

p.s. Are you familiar with %in% ? E.g.
if("D3" %in% alleles.present) do.something()
else do.something.else()
See help("%in%")
