No gender differences in the frequencies of HLA-DRB3/B4/B5 heterozygotes in newborns and adults in Koreans.

Abstract excerpt

HLA class II haplotypes often contain a second expressed HLA-DRB locus tightly linked to the classical HLA-DRB1 locus on the haplotype, which can be either HLA-DRB3, -DRB4 or -DRB5. These encode the HLA-DR51, -DR52 or -DR53 supertypic specificities and mark the ancestral lineages. HLA-DRB3/B4/B5 heterozygote excess in Welsh male newborns has been reported, suggesting a possibility of male-specific major...
