For instance, the HLA-A*0207 allele association reported by Hildesheim et al. [10] in Taiwanese Chinese was explained by suggesting a reduced antigen presentation potential of this allele compared with other HLA-A*02 alleles present in the same population such as HLA-A*0201 which are not associated with higher prevalence of NPC. Here, HLA-A is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
