HLA Gene and Haplotype Frequencies.

 

 

Allele frequency data sought for a special issue of Human Immunology by Derek Middleton and Marcello Fernandez-Vina:

 

"We have been asked by the Editorial Board of Human Immunology to be guest editors for a volume of Human Immunology which will collect frequency data in Histocompatibility and Immunogenetic genes in different normal populations. We envisage that the majority of data will be HLA but we will also include data for cytokines, KIR, MIC, TAP, LMP and other immunogenetic loci if we obtain such data.

 

"We are now calling for individuals to provide this data. Each population or group of populations (if you consider that more appropriate) would be published as a brief communication with your name(s), affiliation etc.

 

"It is difficult to obtain such data at one source and the volume intends to overcome that difficulty. The data will also be entered into the website www.allelefrequencies.net. It is hoped that this venture will be updated in future years."
