AB  - The study of human leukocyte antigen (HLA), allele and haplotype frequencies 
      within populations provides an important source of information for 
      anthropological investigation, organ and hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation 
      purposes as well as disease association studies. As of today, there are no data 
      available in the literature on the HLA structure of the Maldivian population. 
      Altogether 106 families were studied. We used the parents of each family (212 
      unrelated individuals) to analyze the frequencies of HLA class I and class II 
      allele groups and haplotypes.
