Abstract excerpt
We investigated structurally polymorphic Alu insertions (POALINs) at five loci in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genomic region to determine their allele and haplotype frequencies and associations with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, -B, and -C genes in three populations, the Australian Caucasians, Japanese, and African Americans. The POALINs varied in allelic frequency between 0% and...
