The neutral theory and natural selection in the HLA region.

Frontiers in bioscience : a journal and virtual library - 27 Apr 1998

Satta Y, Li Y J, Takahata N

Abstract excerpt

Based on available DNA sequence data in the HLA region of 4 Mb, we review the degree of polymorphism at 39 loci of which most are involved in the immune system. The extent of nucleotide differences per silent site differs greatly from locus to locus. It is exceptionally high at classical MHC loci, intermediate at six MHC-related pseudogenes as well as at some loci in class I and II regions, and low in the class...
