| Abstract: | The DRB1* polymorphism in 941 randomly selected individuals from the Umbilical Cord Blood Bank of Barcelona (92.75% of Spanish origin) was determined by sequence-based typing. The HLA profile was similar to that of other Mediterranean populations, with DRB1*0701 and *0301 being the most frequent alleles. This may be a consequence of the mixture of alleles as a result of migration from contiguous geographical areas. |
