Abstract excerpt
The HLA 8.1 extended haplotype is a well-defined haplotype within the HLA region, characterised by strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) and recognised as most prevalent among populations of European ancestry. Despite its significance, comprehensive data on the extended 8.1 haplotype, encompassing all nine HLA loci with high-resolution typing, remains limited. In this study we examined the structure of the 8.1...
