Excess admixture proportion of extended major histocompatability complex haplotypes of Caucasian origin among rheumatoid arthritis associated haplotypes in African Americans and Afro-Caribbeans.

Abstract excerpt

Several extended major histocompatability complex (MHC) haplotypes are associated with susceptibility to autoimmune disease in Caucasian populations. It is known that African Americans and Afro-Caribbeans are ethnic groups descended from west, central and southern black African populations which are admixed with Caucasians.
