Abstract

A sample of 162 Mandenkalu from Eastern Senegal has been typed for three HLA class I loci: HLA-A, -B and -C. The Mandenka population presents a very high genetic variability with 15 alleles for locus A, 24 alleles for locus B, and at least 8 alleles for locus C. The calculated heterozygosities for the three loci A, B, and C are respectively 0.884, 0.944 and 0.829. The Mandenkalu allelic frequencies are close to that found in other sub-Saharan populations. They show, however, some peculiarities like the occurrence of the Bw 56 allele and the high frequencies of both B5 and B35.
