Abstract excerpt
The high polymorphism of the HLA system has been used as a powerful genetic tool to single out individuals and populations. By studying characteristic allele frequencies and extended HLA haplotypes in different populations, it is possible to identify ethnic groups and establish the genetic relationships among them. In the present study, HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR and -DQ typing at the serological/antigenic and the DNA...
