Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests a more significant role of HLA-C as a target of alloreactions after bone marrow transplantation than previously suspected. Although linkage disequilibrium (LD) between HLA-B and -C serogroups is well documented, the level of LD at the allelic level is not known. In this study, we determine the LD between HLA-B and -C alleles and estimate the probability of molecular HLA-C...
