Edinur, Hisham Atan; Zafarina, Zainuddin; Spínola, Hélder; Nurhaslindawaty, Abd Rashid; Panneerchelvam, Sundararajulu; Norazmi, Mohd-NorIn this study, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II were examined through sequence-specific primer typing in 176 unrelated individuals from six Malay subethnic groups of Peninsular Malaysia: Kelantan (n = 25), Minangkabau (34), Jawa (30), Bugis (31), Banjar (33), and Rawa (23). The most common HLA alleles in all groups were A*24 (26–41%), Cw*07 (24–32%), B*15 (22–30%), DRB1*12 (15–36%), and DQB1*03 (25–...
