The HLA-A, -B and -C locus gene frequencies and the significant A, B and B, C haplotypes of the population of Campania (Southern Italy) are reported. From a comparison of gene frequencies and from an overall genetic distance evaluation with other European and Mediterranean populations the typical Mediterranean structure of the Campanian population is confirmed. While keeping several Middle Eastern features, it places itself as far from Northern Italy (Bergamo) as from the Spanish and the French populations. Among all the groups compared, including Turkish and Lebanese, the largest distance is measured from the English, the Danish and the German populations.

Abstract
The HLA-A, -B and -C locus gene frequencies and the significant A, B and B, C haplotypes of the population of Campania (Southern Italy) are reported. From a comparison of gene frequencies and from an overall genetic distance evaluation with other European and Mediterranean populations the typical Mediterranean structure of the Campanian population is confirmed. While keeping several Middle Eastern features, it places itself as far from Northern Italy (Bergamo) as from the Spanish and the French populations. Among all the groups compared, including Turkish and Lebanese, the largest distance is measured from the English, the Danish and the German populations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
