We have studied the HLA-class I and class II antigen distribution in a sample of 75 Spanish Gypsies and 74 Spanish non-Gypsies by serology, restriction fragment length polymorphism, and protein chain reaction and hybridization with allele-specific oligonucleotide probes. When both population samples are compared, we find that Gypsies have a statistically significantly higher frequency of A1, A11, B61, Cw6, DQ5...
