The origin of the Sinhalese population of Sri Lanka is debated. We subtyped HLA-A02 in 101 Sinhalese and observed a preponderance of the rare allele HLA-A0211 which was similar to reported frequencies in northern India. Taken with low-resolution typing for the remaining A, B, C, DR and DQ alleles, these data suggest a North Indian origin for the Sri Lankan Sinhalese.
斯里兰卡僧伽罗族人口的起源存在争议。我们对101名僧伽罗族人的HLA - A02进行了亚型分型，观察到罕见等位基因HLA - A0211占优势，这与印度北部报告的频率相似。结合对其余A、B、C、DR和DQ等位基因的低分辨率分型，这些数据表明斯里兰卡僧伽罗族起源于印度北部。
