Distribution of HLA-DQα and Polymarker (LDLR, GC, GYPA, HBGG, and D7S8) Alleles in Arab and Pakistani Populations Living in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

CODEN: JFSCAS

Abstract

Randomly collected blood samples from 100 Arabs and 100 Pakistanis residing in Abu Dhabi were analyzed using the HLA-DQα and polymarker (LDLR, GC, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8) PCR based reverse dot blot systems. Allelic frequencies for each allele and observed heterozygosity for each locus were calculated. Departures from Hardy-Weinberg expectations (HWE) were determined using the unbiased estimate of the expected homozygote/heterozygote frequencies, the likelihood ratio test and the exact test. No significant departures from HWE expectations were detected.
