Polymorphism of human leukocyte antigen-A, -B, and -DRB1 in a Moroccan population from Casablanca: study of the allelic and the haplotypic frequencies.

Abstract excerpt

We have studied the distribution of HLA-A, -B and DRB1 alleles and haplotypes by sequence specific oligonucleotide amplification in a sample of 125 unrelated healthy Moroccan individuals from Casablanca in Morocco. The city of Casablanca is known of its big ethnic diversity, especially Arabs and Berbers. The most frequent alleles found were: HLA-A*02 (18.4%), -A*01 (11.2%), -A*03 (10.8%), -B*51 (8.06%),-B*44...
