Abstract excerpt
The present study aims to determine the genetic diversity of the HLA-A19 allelic family in the North Indian and Japanese populations. The HLA-A*19 group of alleles occurred at similar frequencies in North Indians and Japanese as in Caucasians. All the known serological splits of HLA-A19 were observed among the North Indians, i.e. A*33 (15.6%), A*32 (8.6%), A*31 (3.5%), A*30 (3%), A*29 (1.2%) and A*74 (0.77%),...
