AB  - Highly polymorphic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes are considered as useful 
      markers by molecular anthropologists to determine genetic relationship among 
      populations. This review summarizes the results of molecular analyses of HLA 
      class II gene polymorphism in 816 DNA samples from 11 Iranian ethnic groups. The 
      genetic relationship of Iranians to Asians and Europeans has also been reported 
      here. The results of this study revealed a close genetic relationship among 
      Iranian subpopulations which were well separated from other Asian and European 
      populations, however, a genetic similarity was observed among Iranians, 
      Macedonians, Greeks, and Italians.
