Abstract
The Fifth International Histocompatibility Workshop resulted in the designation of HLA-A25 and HLA-A26 as two subtypes of HLA-A10 [1]. Aw34, which belongs to the A10 cross-reacting group, was defined during the Sixth Workshop [2]. The existence of A26 was confirmed in various races, such as Caucasians, Orientals, and Negroes, at the Sixth (1975) and Seventh (1977) Workshops [2, 3]. During the Eighth Workshop (1980) [4] A26 was well defined. The gene frequency observed in Caucasians was 3.2%; in Israeli Jews, 10.5% (1980); in Orientals, 7.2%; and in Negroes, 4.5%. In the last population the suggestion of a short variant was put forward. A26 was found to be in linkage disequilibrium with B38 in several races.
