HLA-DR and -DQB1 genotyping in a Chinese population.
Using molecular biological methods, 58 unrelated Chinese from Shanghai were typed for HLA-DR and DQ. The Shanghai population possesses the principal HLA-DR and DQ characteristics of the oriental populations but with an increase of the DRB1*12 allele. So HLA typing of populations appears to be important not only for anthropological studies but also for transplantations and HLA associations with diseases.
