Allelic polymorphism of two multifunctional regions in the central human MHC: tenascin X, XB-S and YB, and their duplicated fragments XA and YA.

Abstract excerpt

Two highly polymorphic sequences have been discovered in the complement C4 region of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC). They are part of a duplicated unit of overlapping genes, transcribed in opposite directions and containing the sequences of tenascin X (XB), XB-S, XA, YB and YA....
