Ml. Sartakova et al., THE PARTICULAR DISTRIBUTION OF HLA-DRB1-04 AND HLA-DQB1-03 GENES AMONG HEALTHY CAUCASIANS IN WEST SIBERIA, Genetika, 29(4), 1993, pp. 675-680
The allelic HLA-DRB1 04 and HLA-DQB1 03 polymorphism in caucasians liv
ing among the West Siberia Mongoloid aborigenes was studied. As a resu
lt of our studies, it was shown that the HLA-DRB 1 0403/07 predominate
s and HLA-DRB1 0404/08 is absent in the Russian population of West Sib
eria, in contrast to those among Caucasians living in West Europe and
North America. The frequencies of HLA-DQB1 03 alleles are similar to t
hose observed among the all Caucasians. Gametic association HLA-DR4 -
HLA-DQw was found for the first time in Caucasians of West Siberia.
