Abstract excerpt
We report the allele and genotype frequencies in a sample of an unrelated native Kuwaiti population determined by the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse dot-blot analysis. This technique, involving the use of commercially available AmpliType HLA-DQ alpha forensic DNA amplification and typing kit, has permitted the definition of six alleles and 21 genotypes in a sample of 220 people. The allelic...
