HLA-A/B haplotye frequencies among U.S. Hispanic and African-American populations.
HLA-A/B haplotype frequency tables were developed for U.S. Hispanic and African-American populations from data collected from paternity cases. Two Hispanic tables were developed; one was based on data from Hispanics in the northeast U.S. and Florida and designated the Caribbean table whilte all other Hispanics were included in a table designated the Mexican table. The total number of individuals whose haplotypes were included in the Caribbean, Mexican, African-American tables was 1635, 2230, and 3134, respectively. Statistical comparisons were made of haplotype frequencies among these tables and tables previously reported.
