Distribution of HLA epitope frequencies in Turkish population
The antibodies interact with the “Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) antigens” at specific epitopes. “Epitopes” are present on a single HLA or shared by multiple antigens.

Expression analysis of HLA-E and NKG2A and NKG2C receptors points at a role for natural killer function in ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]
Background. Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a complex chronic inflammatory disease strongly associated with the majority of HLA-B27 alleles. HLA-E are non-classical MHC class I molecules that specifically interact with the natural killer receptors NKG2A ...

HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 genotyping among lichen planus patients in Basrah province [PDF]
Background: Lichen planus is an inflammatory, pruritic disease of the skin and mucus membranes, which can be either generalized or localized. Many studies indicated that human leukocyte antigens might have a role in lichen planus (LP).

Allelic variation in HLA-B and HLA-C sequences and the evolution of the HLA-B alleles [PDF]
Several new HLA-B (B8, B51, Bw62)- and HLA-C (Cw6, Cw7)-specific genes were isolated either as genomic cosmid or cDNA clones to study the diversity of HLA antigens.

Efficient HLA imputation from sequential SNPs data by Transformer [PDF]
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes are associated with a variety of diseases, however direct typing of HLA is time and cost consuming. Thus various imputation methods using sequential SNPs data have been proposed based on statistical or deep learning models, e.g. CNN-based model, named DEEP*HLA.

AIF-1 gene does not confer susceptibility to Behçet's disease: Analysis of extended haplotypes in Sardinian population [PDF]
Background BehcEet's disease (BD) is a polygenic immune-mediated disorder characterized by a close association with the HLA-B∗51 allele. The HLA region has a strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) and carries several genetic variants (e.g. MIC-A, TNF-α genes)
