Abstract excerpt
Large registries of volunteer hematopoietic stem cell donors typed for HLA contain potentially valuable data for studying haplotype frequencies in the general population. However the usual assumptions for use of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm are typically violated in these registries. To avoid this problem, previous studies using registry data have reduced the HLA typings to low-resolution and/or...
