Abstract excerpt
The relative distributions of 12 HLA-DR4-related DRB1 alleles in indigenous populations of Australia, Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, and northern and southern China have been determined by analysis of oligonucleotide hybridization patterns of 406 examples of HLA-DR4. DRB1*0405 and DRB1*0410 were common DR4 alleles in Australian aborigines and in Melanesians, while DRB1*0403 was the predominant DR4 allele in...
