HLA class II alleles in Amerindian populations: implications for the evolution of HLA polymorphism and the colonization of the Americas.

Hereditas - 1 Jan 1997

Erlich H A, Mack S J, Bergström T, Gyllensten U B

Abstract excerpt

The analysis of HLA allele frequencies in various Amerindian populations may shed light on the history of human migrations in the Americas; the overall reduction in the number of alleles relative to non-Amerindian populations and the observation that the same alleles and allelic lineages are "missing" in all Amerindian groups suggests an "Into America" population bottleneck. The identification of previously...
