Abstract:
Objective: to complement the known HLA-DR and HLA-DQ linkage table.
Methods: 16 cases were found from patient and donor samples during 2000-2006 whose HLA-DR locus were not normally linkage disequilibrium with HLA-DQ locus and analyzed them with high resolution of PCR-SSP.
Results: We found five new haplotypes in Chinese han race whose HLA-DR and HLA-DQ locus were not coincident with the previous linkage table.
Conclusion: Through adding five new haplotypes to the linkage table makes the linkage table more suitable for the Chinese race.
