HLA-G, -E and -F regulatory and coding region variability and haplotypes in the Beninese Toffin population sample

Abstract excerpt

HLA-G/E/F genes exhibit immunomodulatory properties and are expressed in placenta. Little attention has been devoted to the study of these genes in sub-Saharan African populations, which are yet the most diverse. To fill this gap, we evaluated the complete gene variability, approximately 5.1 kb for HLA-G (n = 149), 7.7 kb for HLA-E (n = 150) and 6.2 kb for HLA-F (n = 152) in the remote Beninese Toffin population,...
