The genetic relationship between Kurds and Azeris of Iran was investigated based on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II profiles. HLA typing was performed using polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment‐length polymorphism (PCR/RFLP) and PCR/sequence‐specific primer (PCR/SSP) methods in 100 Kurds and 100 Azeris. DRB1*1103/04, DQA1*0501 and DQB1*0301 were the most common alleles and DRB1*1103/04‐DQA1*0501‐DQB1*0301 was the most frequent haplotype in both populations. No significant…

HLA Class I and Class II Genes Distribution of the Iranian Sistanis.

The heat maps and multiple correspondence analyses based on the frequency of HLA alleles showed that Sistanis share a common genetic inheritance with other Iranian ethnic groups except some differences with Baluchis, Iranian Jews, Lurs of Kohgiluyeh/Buyerahmad, and Arabs of Fars, which may arise from the admixture of these groups or with foreign subgroups over centuries.

Polymorphisms of HLA-DRB1, -DQA1 and -DQB1 in Inhabitants of Astana, the Capital City of Kazakhstan

The HLA-DRB1, -DQA1and -DQB1 loci are highly polymorphic in the Kazakh population, and this population has the closest relationship with other Asian and Siberian populations.

Genetic HLA Study of Kurds in Iraq, Iran and Tbilisi (Caucasus, Georgia): Relatedness and Medical Implications

The HLA study conclusions are that Kurds most probably belong to an ancient Mediterranean / Middle East / Caucasian genetic substratum and that present results and those previously obtained by us in Kurds may be useful for Medicine in future Kurd transplantation programs, HLA Epidemiology and Pharmacogenomics (HLA-associated drug side effects) and also for Anthropology.

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Class I and II Polymorphism in Iranian Healthy Population from Yazd Province.

The study shows a close relatedness between Yazd population and other ethnic group of Iran despite some differences, which may be due to admixture of each one of these groups with each other or foreigner subpopulations during centuries.

HLA Class II Allele and Haplotype Diversity in Libyans and Their Genetic Relationships with Other Populations

Libyans appear to be closely related to North Africans, Saudis, and Iberians, but distinct from Levantine Arabs, East Mediterraneans, and Sub-Saharan Africans, which indicates limited genetic contribution of Levantine Arab and sub-Saharans on the makeup of Libyan gene pool.

Allele Frequencies of HLA Class-I Loci in the Normal Iranian Population

Evidence suggests that matching unrelated donors and recipients for HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 loci is a prediction for an improved outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Allele and haplotype frequencies for HLA-DQ in Iranian celiac disease patients.

The prevalence of DQ8 in the CD population of Iranian celiac disease patients was higher than that reported in other populations and underline the primary importance of HLA-DQ alleles in the Iranian population's susceptibility to CD.

Genetic connections among Turkic‐speaking Iranian ethnic groups based on HLA class II gene diversity

It seems that linguistic criteria alone are not able to determine the relationships among the Turkic‐speaking Iranian subpopulations, and a combination of different kinds of anthropological information should be used to determine their actual phylogenetic relationships.

HLA alleles and haplotype frequencies in Iranian population.

While all alleles were present among Fars subgroup, Armanis and Turkamans had the lowest degree of diversity among the alleles examined and have practical significance in anthropological studies, disease association investigations and bone marrow transplantation.

HLA class II gene polymorphism in Parsees and Zoroastrians of Iran

This study will serve as a reference for further anthropological studies when the HLA profile of all ethnic groups of Iran is investigated, and Neighbour‐joining tree based on Nei's genetic distances according to DRB1 and DQB1 allele frequencies showed that Parsees and Zoroastrians of Iran were located in the same cluster of the phylogenetic tree.

HLA class II genetic diversity in Arabs and Jews of Iran.

It seems that, Iranian Arabs are originally from the Iranian gene pool and speak Arabic due to their encounter with Arabs and Iranian gene flow to immigrant Jews followed by their expansion in this country may also explain the close genetic relationship among different Iranian ethnic groups.

From HLA analysis, the north Indian population is seen to have several characteristics shared either with Caucasian or East Asian populations, consistent with the demographic history of north India, as well as specific features, including several alleles at high frequency that are rare or absent in other populations.

It is concluded that this invasion had a relatively few invaders in comparison to the already settled populations, i.e. Anatolian Hittite and Hurrian groups (older than 2000 B.C.), which may have given rise to present-day Kurdish, Armenian and Turkish populations.
