The frequencies of HLA-A, -B, and -C antigens were studied in a tribal population of Koya from Andhra Pradesh in southern India. No other well-defined tribal population has been studied with which the present results may be compared. However, the HLA profile of Koya showed distinct differences from the general HLA distribution in India in the frequency of a large number of antigens both at the A and B loci. This study indicates the distinctiveness of this tribal population and suggests the potential importance of the study of HLA frequencies in tribal groups of India.
在印度南部安得拉邦的一个科亚部落人群中，对HLA - A、- B和 - C抗原的频率进行了研究。尚未有其他明确界定的部落人群被研究过，因而无法与本研究结果进行比较。然而，科亚部落的HLA图谱显示，在A和B位点的大量抗原频率方面，与印度的总体HLA分布存在明显差异。本研究表明了这个部落人群的独特性，并提示了研究印度部落群体中HLA频率的潜在重要性。
