HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 genotyping and haplotype frequencies among Filipinos living in the National Capital Region of the Philippines.

In this report, HLA polymorphisms (A, B, and DRB1 loci) were determined in 51 unrelated Filipinos. Molecular genotyping was carried out by sequence-based typing (Sanger sequencing). Data were analyzed by HLA-net GENE[RATE] tools. HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 genotype frequencies were at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A*11, B*15, and DRB1*15 were the most frequent allele groups, while A*11-B*15-DRB1*15 was the most frequent HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotype. HLA data are available in the Allele Frequencies Net Database (AFND: 3690) under the population name "Philippines National Capital Region". PMID: 32571529 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
