Comparative genetics of the major histocompatibility complex in humans and nonhuman primates.

International journal of immunogenetics - 1 Jun 2020

Heijmans Corrine M C, de Groot Natasja G, Bontrop Ronald E

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is one of the most gene-dense regions of the mammalian genome. Multiple genes within the human MHC (HLA) show extensive polymorphism, and currently, more than 26,000 alleles divided over 39 different genes are known. Nonhuman primate (NHP) species are grouped into great and lesser apes and Old and New World monkeys, and their MHC is studied mostly because of their...
