Abstract excerpt
Gene frequencies of mainly human platelet antigens (HPA) -1 to -6 and -15 were determined in 116 Tunisian blood donors. The distribution of HPA-1, -3 and -5 systems approach those found in other Maghrebian populations. Tunisians have the highest frequency of HPA-1b and -5b alleles. The distribution of HPA-1a allele and HPA-4, -6 and -15 systems is similar to Caucasians. Phylogenetic study using the...
