Abstract
The distribution of HLA genes and haplotype frequencies was studied in a population of 119 Sarakole West Africans. The absence of HLA-B15, the rarity of HLA-A10, B12 and B17 and the relatively high frequency of HLA-A2 and B5 were noted. The presence of a Da 6 gene in the African populations is confirmed. The main gametic associations were Aw19-Bw35 and Aw23-B5.Keywords
