- Abstract
Results on HLA-DRB1* and HLA-DQB1* allele frequencies in the Slovak population by PCR-SSP method are presented. HLA-DRB1* alleles were determined in 130 and HLA-DQB1* alleles in 143 healthy unrelated individuals. The highest frequency was observed for the alleles HLA-DRB1*1101-13 (0.203), HLA-DRB1*0701 (0.142), HLA-DQB1*0301 (0.244), and HLA-DQB1*0201 (0.209). The least frequent alleles were HLA-DRB1*1402-6-9, HLA-DRB1*0901 (both 0.0038), HLA-DQB1*0401 (0.007), and HLA-DQB1*0601 (0.0035). The results obtained by DNA-typing were compared with those calculated from the serological study. No statistically significant differencies were found. The allele frequencies obtained in our study were also compared with those of the Czech and Austrian populations. No statistically significant differencies were observed. (Fig. 2, Tab. 3, Ref. 13.)
