High-resolution HLA alleles and haplotypes in the United States population

M Maiers, L Gragert, W Klitz - Human immunology, 2007 - Elsevier
We extract and present high-resolution HLA allele and haplotype frequency data available
from the National Marrow Donor Program databases from four major US census categories
of race and ethnicity. Population-based high-resolution HLA frequencies defined on the
basis of from one to five loci are presented and made available online (http://bioinformatics.
nmdp. org/haplotype2006). In addition, a discriminatory classification of HLA allelic variation
on the basis of observed population allele frequencies (common, rare and unseen) for HLA …
