Zusammenfassung:
We studied HLA class I (HLA-A, -B) and class II (HLA-DRB1, -DQB1) alleles by PCR-SSP based typing in 122 Mexicans from the state of Hidalgo living in the city of Pachuca (N = 41) and rural communities (N = 81), to obtain information regarding allelic and haplotypic frequencies. We find that the most frequent haplotypes in Hidalgo include eight Native American and one European haplotypes. Admixture estimates revealed that the main genetic components in Hidalgo are Native American (58.93 ± 2.16 by ML; 54.51 of Native American haplotypes) and European (32.49 ± 2.88 by ML; 28.69 of European haplotypes), and a relatively high African genetic component (8.58 ± 0.93 by ML; 6.97 of African haplotypes).
