The number and molecular nature of in vivo mutations in relation to age was studied at the autosomal HLA-A locus in human lymphocytes. Mutant lymphocytes were isolated by immunoselection, cloned at limiting dilution and enumerated, and the HLA-A gene and other polymorphic gene loci on chromosome 6 were studied by Southern blotting to determine gene dosage and loss of heterozygosity. Results of 167 assays in 73...
