Increased heterozygosity for MHC class II lineages in newborn males.

Genes and immunity - 1 Aug 2002

Dorak M T, Lawson T, Machulla H K G, Mills K I, Burnett A K

Abstract excerpt

In plants, fungi and marine invertebrates, there are genetic compatibility systems to ensure diversity in the offspring. The importance of genetic compatibility in gametic union and selective abortion in vertebrate animals has also been appreciated recently. There have been suggestions that the major histocompatibility complex (HLA in humans) may be a compatibility system in vertebrates. HLA class II haplotypes...
