Defining the allelic variants of HLA-A30 in the Sardinian population using amplification refractory mutation system--polymerase chain reaction.

Abstract excerpt

HLA-A30 is present in the Sardinian population at a frequency of 23%. We have designed a system using nested ARMS-PCR to determine the relative frequencies of the HLA-A*30 allelic variants (A*3001, A*3002, and A*3003) within this population. The use of a nested PCR approach, in which the first-round reaction provides HLA-A*30 specificity and template DNA for the subsequent nested reactions, is a powerful means of...
