چکیده

background: anthropological studies based on highly polymorphic hla genes pro-vide useful information for bone marrow donor registry, forensic medicine, disease as-sociation studies, as well as designing peptide vaccines against tumors, and infectious or autoimmune diseases. objective: this study was designed to investigate the genetic relationship of iranian arabs and jews using hla-class ii genetic diversity methods: hla-drb1, dqa1, and dqb1 allele frequencies and haplotypes were determined in 134 iranian arabs from two different communities and 91 iranian jews using pcr/rflp and pcr/ssp methods. results: neighbor-joining analyses showed a closer genetic relationship between iranian arabs and iranian jews than between either iranian arabs and middle eastern arabs or iranian jews and other jews. the results of amova test also revealed no significant difference between these populations and other iranians. conclusion: it seems that, iranian arabs are originally from the iranian gene pool and speak arabic due to their encounter with arabs. iranian gene flow to im-migrant jews followed by their expansion in this country may also explain the close ge-netic relationship among different iranian ethnic groups.

ULCERATIVE COLITIS AND HLA CLASS II PHENOTYPING IN IRAN

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a nonspecific acute and chronic inflammatory bowel disease that diffusely involves the colonic mucosa. The etiology of UC has not yet been elucidated fully. However, many studies have found that immunologic disorders may play a role in the pathogenesis of UC. In addition, due to an increased frequency of UC in families, especially an increased monozygotic compared...

Iranian Lurs Genetic Diversity: An Anthropological View Based on HLA Class II Profiles

Background: HLA genes are highly polymorphic and certain alleles are frequent only in specific populations. Therefore, HLA is a unique tool for studying the genetic relationship between different populations. Iranians are ethnically diverse people and one of the major ethnic groups in Iran is Lur population inhabiting along the central and southern parts of Zagros Chain Mountain. Objectives: Ge...

HLA Class I and Class II Genes Distribution of the Sistanis in Iran

Background: The high polymorphism in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes can be used as an identity of individuals to compare with other populations. This extreme polymorphism in the HLA system is accountable for the differences in alleles and haplotypes among ethnic groups, populations, and the inhabitants of many regions. Objective: To define the frequency of HLA alleles and haplotypes am...
