Direct DNA sequencing was used to determine the frequency of alleles within the HLA-A2
family in five US population groups. The most frequently detected HLA-A2 allele in all
groups was HLA-A∗ 02011. Caucasian and Native American populations appear to be the
most homogeneous exhibiting 95.7% and 94.3% A∗ 02011, respectively. Hispanic and
Asian/Pacific Islander populations were the most allelicly diverse populations with 9 and 7
different HLA-A2 alleles present, respectively, but the majority of the populations were HLA …
