Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Estimation of HLA (Human leukocyte Antigen) alleles' frequencies in populations is essential to explore their ethnic origin. Anthropologic studies of central Tunisian population were rarely reported. Then, in this work, we aimed to explore the origin of central Tunisian population using HLA alleles and haplotypes frequencies. METHODS: HLA class I (A, B, C) and HLA class II (DRB1, DQA1, DQB1) loci...
