In particular, all the HLA-Cw*08 alleles were identified by SBT as HLA-Cw*0802 while HLA-B14, split this haplotype into 3 sub-haplotypes in which HLA-B*1402 occurred 11 times (HF = 0.037) and HLA-B*1401 and B*1403 three times each (none of them seen in patients with NPC). The gene discussed is HLA-B; the disease is nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
