HLA-A, -B and -Cw Allele Frequencies in a Nadar Population from Tamil Nadu, India U. Shankarkumar HLA department, Institute of Immunohaematology, KEM Hospital, Mumbai, India E-mail:
[email protected] This population from the Tamil Nadu state of India, Latitude 8 –13N Longitude 77– 80E consisted of 61 Indo-European individuals. The individuals were drawn from an urban and rural environment and HLA alleles were determined using sequence specific oligonucleotide probes. The results have previously been published in Tissue Antigens 62, 542– 47, 2003. The Nadars are a Tamil-speaking Dravidian caste, considered to be one of the earliest inhabitants of South India.

[email protected] This population from the North Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Utter Pradesh and Delhi, Latitude 25–28N Longitude 74 – 81E consisted of 72 Hindu individuals. The individuals were drawn from an urban environment where the grandparents had also lived. HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 alleles were characterised by sequence based typing, HLA-C, -DQA1, -DQB1, and KIR alleles by sequence specific primers. Only 52 typed for HLA-A and -B, 34 typed for HLA-C, 54 typed for HLA-DRB1, 67 typed for HLA-DQB1.
