Abstract: Novel polymorphic microsatellite markers in the human MHC class II region and methods for disease mapping and genotyping with said microsatellite markers are provided. Said microsatellite markers are useful in HLA-related research, such as genetic mapping of HLA class II associated diseases, transplantation matching, population genetics, and identification of recombination hot spots as well as linkage disequilibrium studies.
