The analysis of 650 HLA-A:HAL-B:Bf three-factor haplotypes revealed significant associations only between alleles of the very closely linked genes HLA-A and HLA-B, and Bf, respectively. Most striking is the highly significnat association of the rare Bf variant F1 with HLA-B18 and of S1 with HLA-B13,

β¦ Synopsis
Three hundred four HLA-A : HLA-B : Bf haplotypes of the Japanese population as deduced by family analysis are described. Several linkage disequilibriums were observed in the following two-factor haplotypes: HLA-A and HLA-B, HLA-A and Bf, and HLA-B and Bf. Positive linkage disequilibriums between HLA-A and HLA-B noted in the present study seem to be Japanese specific when compared with the results obtained from other ethnic groups reported so far. The striking finding is that three HLA-B : Bf haplotypes, namely B12-BfF, B15-BfF, and B7-BfS, are common and show linkage disequilibrium in both Japanese and European Caucasians (German). This finding not only confirms the proximity of the HLA-B and Bf loci but also suggests that the interaction of the two genes plays an important role in the maintenance of stable linkage disequilibrium.

This study confirms close linkage for the GLO--Bf--HLA-B,C,A complex, and proves linkage between the MHC loci and PGM3. For GLO--PGM3 and Bf--PGM3, respectively, loose linkage seems to be likely, and close linkage can be excluded. Our mapping data on chromosome 6 favor the hypothesis that the PGM3 l
Segregation analysis of informative families for chromosome 6 markers confirmed the map order GLO--Bf--HLA-(B, C)--HLA-A, and, surprisingly, implies that PGM3 is more probably located on the HLA-A than on the HLA-B side of the linkage group. Therefore the map position of PGM3 should be reconsidered,
