title: Analysis of the distribution of HLA-B alleles in populations from five continents.
abstract: A two stage PCR-SSOP typing procedure, that permitted HLA-B allele assignment, was applied to DNA samples obtained from six diverse populations -Brazilian, Mexican (Series and Mestizos), Cuban (Caucasoid and Mulatto), South African Zulu, Omani, and Singapore Chinese. HLA-B allele frequencies and HLA-A/B two locus haplotype frequencies were compiled for each population.
