Popis: In this report, HLA polymorphisms (A, B, DRB1 and DQB1 loci) were determined in 149 unrelated Iraqi Arab potential bone marrow and kidney donors. Molecular genotyping was carried out by polymerase chain reaction followed by specific oligonucleotide probe hybridizations. Data were analyzed by Arlequin software. HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 genotype frequencies were significantly deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, while HLA-DQB1 frequencies showed no deviation. A*03, B*35, DRB1*11 and DQB1*02 were the most frequent allele groups, while A*02-B*07-DRB1*04-DQB1*03 was the most frequent haplotype. HLA data are available in the Allele Frequencies Net Database (AFND: 3680) under the population name "Iraq Arabs".
