Summary
The HLA antigen and gene frequencies (A, B and C loci) in the populations of the Bergamo area and of the Campania region are compared. Significant discrepancies were found between the two sets of data, as regards the distribution of single genes and the haplotype frequencies and deltas as well. Some of the frequencies diverge significantly also from accepted data on European Caucasoid populations.
