Abstract
The frequencies of the HLA‐A, B, C, D, DR and MB antigens have been determined in a homogeneous Shanghai Chinese population. Comparisons with the HLA‐A and ‐B frequencies in other subsets of the Chinese population revealed some marked differences. No comparisons were possible for the D, DR and MB antigens since there were no previous studies of the antigens in those loci. We suggest that studies of the Chinese population should be confined to clearly defined homogeneous subsets. In this manner, the confounding effect of population heterogeneity may be avoided, and it is this heterogeneity which calls for extensive surveys of the huge Chinese population.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
