Genetics & Genomics
Findings from University of Oxford provide new insights into genetics & genomics
April 2nd, 2008
"Genetic variation at classical HLA alleles is a crucial determinant of transplant success and susceptibility to a large number of infectious and autoimmune diseases. However, large-scale studies involving classical type I and type II HLA alleles might be limited by the cost of allele-typing technologies," scientists in Oxford, the United Kingdom report. "Although recent studies have shown that some common HLA alleles can be tagged with small numbers of markers, 1,2 SNP-based tagging does not offer a complete solution to predicting HLA alleles. We have developed a new statistical methodology to use SNP variation within the region to predict alleles at key class I...
