Abstract
Extended MHC haplotypes comprising HLA-A, -B, -DR, C2, BF and GLO1 loci observed in the parents of 497 Danish normal families are presented, with particular regard to the haplotypes that include BF variants or the C2*2 allele. The known association of HLA-B35, -DR1 with both -A3 and -A11 appeared to depend upon the BF type: HLA-B35, BF*S, -DR1 is strongly associated with -A11, whereas -B35,BF*F,-DR1 is strongly associated with -A3. Further, in the present material DZ twins of the same sex shared HLA-haplotypes more often than did twin pairs of different sex.
