Gene context of Oceanic Ancestry Group

  • The atypical ALDH2 gene (ALDH2(2)) was found to be extremely rare in Caucasoids, Negroids, Papua New Guineans, Australian Aborigines and Aurocanians (South Chile) [19].
  • The distribution of HLA-DRB1 alleles was studied in Australian aborigines from different parts of Australia. There were significant differences in the frequencies of DRB1*0412, 1409, and 1410 between the Central Desert and Yuendumu populations and the previously reported Cape York and Kimberley aboriginal populations [20].
  • Analysis of native human populations such as Australian Aborigines and Amerindians shows that HLA-B is characterized by rapid generation of new alleles [21].
  • On the other hand, Spanish, Mexican, Australian Aborigine SLE patients had increased frequencies of C4B deficiency instead of C4A deficiency [22].
  • The HLA-DPB1 alleles in 93 Australian aborigines, from two geographically separate areas within Australia, were studied by AFLP analysis [23].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Oceanic Ancestry Group

  • TBG in serum from these Australian Aborigines was immunologically identical to that in Caucasians and American Blacks in terms of parallelism of serially diluted samples in the TBG radioimmunoassay (RIA).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[24]
