title: Frequency of platelet-specific antigens PlA1, Baka, Yuka, Yukb, and Bra in South American (Mapuches) Indians.
abstract: One hundred twelve unrelated Mapuches Indians from the area of Temuco, Chile were studied for the prevalence of five platelet-specific antigens. The prevalences found were: PlA1 (Zwa), greater than 99 percent; Baka, 89.3 percent; Yuka (Penb), 0.9 percent; Yukb (Pena), greater than 99 percent; and Bra, 4.9 percent.
