Genetic diversity of HLA-DRB1 alleles in the Tujia population of Wufeng, Hubei Province, China
“Genetic diversity of HLA-DRB1 alleles in the Tujia population of Wufeng, Hubei Province, China”, vol. 13, pp. 4756-4765, 2014.
, We established a genetic database by investigating human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 allelic frequencies in a disease-association study in the Tujia population in Wufang, Hubei, China. The allele frequencies of the HLA-DRB1 locus in 262 healthy, unrelated Tujia individuals living in the Wufeng region of the Hubei Province were analyzed using the Luminex HLA sequence-specific oligonucleotide method with a WAKFlow HLA typing kit. A total of 13 alleles were detected at the HLA-DRB1 locus.
