Conserved extended haplotypes (CEHs) are large (>or=1Mb) regions of identical DNA of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region of chromosome 6p in unrelated individuals. They are recognized by family studies and constitute nearly half of MHC haplotypes among European Caucasians. We studied 49 Hungarian Caucasian families in comparison with the previous findings in 2675 normal American Caucasian...
