Abstract excerpt
The rate at which allelic diversity at the HLA loci evolves has been the subject of considerable controversy. The patchwork pattern of sequence polymorphism within the second exon of the HLA class II loci, particularly in the DPB1 locus, may have been generated by segmental exchange (gene convers...
