HLA and mate selection: no evidence in South Amerindians.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Sept 1997

Hedrick P W, Black F L

Abstract excerpt

There have been reports of nonrandom mating (negative-assortative mating) or preference for individuals of different major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genotypes in both mice and humans. We have examined the association of HLA-A and HLA-B genotypes, both for each locus by itself and for two-locus genotypes, in mates of 194 couples from 11 South Amerindian tribes. The proportion of couples sampled averaged...
