Evolutionary Analysis of Classical HLA Class I and II Genes Suggests That Recent Positive Selection Acted on DPB1*04∶01 in Japanese Population

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes exhibit the highest degree of polymorphism in the human genome. This high degree of variation at classical HLA class I and class II loci has been maintained by balancing selection for a long evolutionary time. However, little is known about recent positive sel...
