AB  - Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing was undertaken in 151 unrelated blood donors 
      and in 35 normal couples having at least two living children. We compared 
      observed and expected sharing of HLA antigens at four loci in normal couples. We 
      also compared the observed sharing in couples with the expected sharing in 
      unrelated blood donors if taken two by two and with the sharing observed after 
      1000 "synthetic matings" of normal couples. No statistically significant 
      difference in HLA sharing appeared between these groups. Furthermore no 
      differences were observed in the probabilities of sharing individual HLA antigens 
      among the different groups. We thus conclude that the observed HLA sharing in 
      normal couples is governed by chance alone and that mating is random in our 
      population.
