Allelic and haplotypic HLA diversity in indigenous Malaysian populations explored using Next Generation Sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

The heterogenous population of Malaysia includes more than 50 indigenous groups, and characterizing their HLA diversity would not only provide insights to their ancestry, but also on the effects of natural selection on their genome. We utilized hybridization-based sequence capture and short-read sequencing on the HLA region of 172 individuals representing seven indigenous groups in Malaysia (Jehai, Kintaq,...
