HLA Class I and Class II two-Locus haplotypes in Tunisians.

<p>HLA Class I and Class II two-Locus haplotypes in Tunisians.</p

Correspondence analysis showing a global view of the relationship among Mediterranean populations according to HLA allele frequencies in three dimensions (bi-dimensional representation).

<p>HLA-DRB1 allele frequencies data. Only individuals with defined DRB1 subtypes are considered.</p

Neighbor-Joining dendrogram showing relatedness between Tunisians and other populations.

<p>Standard genetic distances (SGD) between populations were calculated by using generic HLA-DRB1 and -DQB1 genotyping. Data from other populations were taken from references detailed in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0136909#pone.0136909.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>. Bootstrap values from 1.000 replicates are shown.</p
