Absence of evidence for MHC-dependent mate selection within HapMap populations.

PLoS genetics - 29 Apr 2010

Derti Adnan, Cenik Can, Kraft Peter, Roth Frederick P

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of immunity genes has been reported to influence mate choice in vertebrates, and a recent study presented genetic evidence for this effect in humans. Specifically, greater dissimilarity at the MHC locus was reported for European-American mates (parents in HapMap Phase 2 trios) than for non-mates. Here we show that the results depend on a few extreme data points, are not...
