DOIAbstract
International audienceThe classical HLA class I genes (HLA Ia) were extensively studied because of their implication in clinical fields and anthropology. Less is known about worldwide genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium for non-classical HLA class I genes (HLA Ib) and HLA pseudogenes. Notably, HLA-H, which is deleted in a fraction of the population, remains scarcely explored. The aims of this study were 1/ to get further insight into HLA-H genetic diversity and into how this variability potentially affects its expression and 2/ to define HLA Ib worldwide allelic diversity and linkage
