After adjustment for multiple comparisons, the allele frequencies of HLA-A*29:01 and HLA-B*07:05 were still found to be significantly higher in DMD patients with de novo mutations than in healthy controls (OR = 77.31, 95%CI = 6.79–879.73, Pc < 1.67*10−2; OR = 60.24, 95%CI = 9.64–376.54, Pc < 2.41*10−3 for HLA-A*29:01 and HLA-B*07:05, respectively). Here, HLA-B is linked to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
