Abstract
This report presents the antigen frequencies for HLA-A, B, C, DR, immunoglobulin, and red blood cell systems for the Navajo Indians of North America. HLA-A-B, B-C, and B-DR haplotype frequencies and significant delta values are given. These data are compared with similar data for other American Indians and major non-Indian ethnic groups. Very restricted HLA polymorphism is unique for the Navajo as well as American Indians in general and this feature has important implications with regard to disease association and transplantation.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
