Abstract excerpt
The allele frequency distributions for the HLA class II loci, DRB1, DQB1 and DPB1, in eight Pacific/Asian populations: Hawaiian, Samoan, Malay, Papua New Guinea (PNG) Highlands, and two Indonesian and PNG Lowland groups, were determined using high-resolution polymerase chain reaction/sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (PCR/SSOP) typing methods. The allele frequency distributions for the HLA-DRB1 locus were...
