HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR, -DQ typing in a population group of Senegal : distribution of HLA antigens and HLA-DRB1*13 and DRB1*11 subtyping by PCR using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) Dieye, A.

EPIDEMIOLOGIE PALUDISME ANEMIE ANTIGENE IMMUNOLOGIE GROUPE ETHNIQUE GENETIQUE DE POPULATION TYPOLOGIE SYSTEME HLA FREQUENCE ALLELIQUE TECHNIQUE PCR One-hundred-and sixteen Senegalese Serere were typed for HLA antigens and compared with other ethnic groups in Gambia. We did not find significant differences (Fisher's exact test; P0.01) in the HLA antigens distribution between the Serere and Mandinka groups in Senegal and the Serere, Mandinka and Wolof in The Gambia. The most common HLA haplotypes found (P0.01; Chi square with Yates' correction) were: A1, B8; A2, B51; A32, B44; A33, B58; A2, Cw2; A2, Cw4; A33, Cw3; A2, DR17; A10, DR10; B35, Cw4; B53, Cw6; B57, Cw3; B65, Cw8; B50, DR15; B52, DR4; Cw2, DR17; DR7, DQ2; DR18, DQ4. The HLA-DRB1*13 and DRB1*11 alleles were subtyped by PCR-SSP and the frequencies of these alleles in the studied population given. HLA-DRB1*1304 and DRB1102 were the most common alleles found respectively 15.0 and 18.5% 1996 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010016493 fdi:010016493 Dieye A., Diaw M.L., Rogier C., Trape Jean-François, Sarthou J.
