Abstract excerpt
DPA1 gene is one of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes and its promoter is highly polymorphic. From comparative studies among five southern Chinese populations, Jing, Li, Bai, Lahu, and Meizhou Han, we describe their single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)/haplotype frequency data of HLA-DPA1 gene promoter in this study. Within the 760-bp promoter region, we have identified 21 SNPs and nine possible...
