Abstract excerpt
Many studies have show that the structurally polymorphic Alu insertion within HLA class I region are useful tools for investigating the origin, evolution and recombination of HLA class I progenitor haplotypes and gene diversity in different ethnic populations. In the present study, we determined the frequencies of HLA-Alus (i.e., AluMICB, AluTF, AluHJ, AluHG, and AluHF) in Zhuang and Yugu ethnic populations at...
