Abstract excerpt
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region is highly diverse and plays a crucial role in immune regulation and antigen presentation. Accurate HLA typing is essential for understanding disease susceptibility, transplantation compatibility, and pharmacogenetics. However, its application in African descent populations is challenging due to complex linkage disequilibrium patterns and the lack of ancestry-matched...
