Abstract excerpt
HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 gene and haplotype frequencies have been calculated from 3892 southern Chinese unrelated cord blood units in a Hong Kong Cord Blood Registry. This is the first large-scale paper to report the distribution of A-B-DRB1 alleles in Hong Kong Chinese Cord Blood Units. This information is important for estimating the optimal and economically cost-effective donor size and likelihood of obtaining...
