HLA antigens in two Iranian populations: the Armenians and the Jews.
The distribution of HLA phenotype, genotype and haplotype frequencies was studied in two Iranian populations, the Armenians and the Jews. Although the frequencies of most antigens in the Armenians have approximately the average Jewish values, haplotype frequencies are quite different between the two populations. The frequencies of antigens in Iranian Jews are more similar to those in the Mazandaranies, a group of non-Jewish Iranians, than to the Jewish populations from Yemen and Cochin, India.
