Abstract excerpt
HLA class I diversity (loci A, B and C) was analysed in four populations, two from North Cameroon (Podokwo and Uldeme) and two from South Cameroon (Ewondo and Bamileke). Northern and southern Cameroon populations show a substantial genetic diversity in terms of haplotype sharing and genetic distances, even despite the low percentage of variance due to differences among populations evidenced by analysis of...
