Six-locus high resolution HLA haplotype frequencies derived from mixed-resolution DNA typing for the entire US donor registry.

TLDR
These haplotype frequencies will be used to improve match predictions for donor selection algorithms for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and improve the accuracy in modeling registry match rates.

HLA Match Likelihoods for Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Grafts in the U.S. Registry

TL;DR: Most patients likely to benefit from HSCT will have a donor, with the highest probability among whites of European descent, and the lowest probability among blacks of South or Central American descent, regardless of racial and ethnic background.

Deep sequencing of the MHC region in the Chinese population contributes to studies of complex disease

TL;DR: The entire 5-Mb MHC region in 20,635 individuals of Han Chinese ancestry is sequenced and a Han-MHC database is constructed that includes both variants and HLA gene typing results of high accuracy to advance understanding of the pathogenesis of these disorders.

Immunogenetics of type 1 diabetes: A comprehensive review.

TL;DR: The results of decades of small and large genetic linkage and association studies show clearly that the HLA genes confer the most disease risk and protection and can be used as part of a prediction strategy for T1D.

HLA diversity in the 1000 genomes dataset.

TL;DR: This analysis of linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay in these samples suggests that overestimation of pairwise LD occurs due to a limited sampling of the MHC diversity, and is a valuable resource for future analyses of the role of MHC in population and disease studies.

Genetic distance between populations

TL;DR: If enough data are available, genetic distance between any pair of organisms can be measured in terms of D, and this measure is applicable to any kind of organism without regard to ploidy or mating scheme.

Maximum-likelihood estimation of molecular haplotype frequencies in a diploid population.

TL;DR: An expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm leading to maximum-likelihood estimates of molecular haplotype frequencies under the assumption of Hardy-Weinberg proportions is implemented and appears to be useful for the analysis of nuclear DNA sequences or highly variable loci.
