The human major histocompatibility complex (MHC), on the short arm of chromosome 6, represents one of the most extensively characterised regions of the human genome. This -4 Mb segment of DNA contains genes encoding the polymorphic MHC class I and class I1 molecules which are involved in antigen pre

The cDNA and a partial genomic sequence of a rat class I major histocompatibility (RT1) gene, ll/3R, is reported here. The sequence contains several unique amino acid residues at certain positions, mutations in exon 7 (which is not expressed), a mutation of the canonical exon 8 stop codon to a sense
A two-stage linkage strategy was employed to identify major genes for a simulated complex disease via a genome scan. The importance of several approaches for improving the ability to locate major genes has been illustrated. These approaches are: adjusting for covariates, ascertaining through multipl
