Abstract excerpt
The frequencies of 30 HLA-DRB1*13 alleles and 15 DRB3 alleles were determined for the 5 major U.S. ethnic populations: Caucasians, African Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, and Native Americans. A random sampling (163) of DRB1*13-positive individuals from each self-described ethnic group was selected out of a pool of 82,979 unrelated individuals, providing at least an 80% probability of detecting a...
