The complotype FC(1,90)0 is in linkage disequilibrium with HLA-B42, DRB1*0302 in African-Americans and Southern African Xhosa individuals, suggesting a common ancestry. In order to analyze the distribution of Cw*17 alleles (Cw*1701, 1702) in relation to this African-derived extended haplotype, we studied a large...
