The HLA antigens in Indian Hindus

Abstract
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 (Δ) among the Hindus have also been identified.
