QUICK TEST OF THE HLA-B ALLELE TABLE
A quick count of region sample size and number of alleles expressed in the region gives us the following numbers.
Region 2n Size Tested Alleles expressed
Europe 3210 89
North America 1299 74
North-East Asia 760 65
South-East Asia 5489 101
Sub-Sahara Africa 3526 104
I would say the sample size for North America and North-East Asia are valid, but with a higher standard deviation in the allelic expression than the other regions. Without a rigorous statistical treatment I would rather see the sample size above 3000 to narrow the standard deviation. I think this data check can still confirm the numbers we are talking about from this table.
