Abstract excerpt
The powerful genetic polymorphism of the HLA system has been used to identify individuals and populations. Ethnic groups may be characterized by specific HLA allele frequencies and particular extended HLA haplotypes; also, genetic relationships among these groups may be deduced. In the present study, serology and DNA typing were used to detect HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR, and -DQ alleles in each individual and to...
