Mittal KK, Naik S, Sansonetti N, Cowherd R, Kumar R, Wong DM

This study reports the phenotype frequencies (PF) and gene frequencies (GF) of 72 different HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DR antigens in Indian Hindus, thus substantially extending the data previously reported for Asian Indians (Singal 1972, Bale et al. 1980, Hammond & Asmal 1980). The two-locus haplotypes demonstrating significant linkage disequilibrium (¿) among the Hindus have also been identified.
