Abstract excerpt
HLA haplotype frequencies are estimated from ambiguous unphased HLA genotyping data using Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithms. Current population genetics methods require independent EM frequency estimates for each population, and assume that each population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE). The HWE assumption of EM has thus far resulted in the exclusion of individuals from mixed or unknown ethnic...
