HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR, -DQ typing in a population group of Senegal: distribution of HLA antigens and HLA-DRB1*13 and DRB1*11 subtyping by PCR using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP).

Abstract excerpt

One-hundred-and sixteen Senegalese Serere were typed for HLA antigens and compared with other ethnic groups in Gambia. We did not find significant differences (Fisher's exact test; P < 0.01) in the HLA antigens distribution between the Serere and Mandinka groups in Senegal and the Serere, Mandinka and Wolof in The Gambia. The most common HLA haplotypes found (P < 0.01; Chi square with Yates' correction) were: A1,...
