Linkage disequilibrium and age of HLA region SNPs in relation to classic HLA gene alleles within Europe.
The HLA region on chromosome 6 is gene-rich and under selective pressure because of the high proportion of immunity-related genes. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns and allele frequencies in this region are highly differentiated across broad geographical populations, making it a region of interes...
