The results suggest that the presence of alleles HLA-G*0104, DRB1*07/06, HCMV sequences and the fetal inheritance of maternal G*0104, should be considered as conditioning factors for the development of preeclampsia.

We have identified an association between the haplotype HLA-DRB1*1101, DQA1*0501, DQB1*0301 and atopic asthma that confers susceptibility to develop mite-sensitive asthma to atopics (relative risk, RR 8.2), and to non-atopic controls (RR = 15.8) that carry this haplotype. Conversely, the allele HLA-Cw7 was absent in the asthmatics studied and had higher frequencies in the atopic (RR = 0.05) and non-atopic (RR = 0.08) controls. Thus, it may have a protective role for developing atopic asthma in the population studied.
