We find that the most frequent haplotypes in the state of Querétaro include seven Native American, two European and one Asian haplotype. Admixture estimates revealed that the main genetic components in the state of Querétaro are Native American (51.82 ± 4.42 by ML; 42.61 of Native American haplotypes) and European (48.18 ± 3.55 by ML; 46.02 of European haplotypes), with a virtually absent African genetic component (0.00 ± 4.25 by ML; 4.55 of African haplotypes). %K HLA, Immunogenetics, Population genetics, Querétaro, Admixture %J Human Immunology %V 81 %N 9 %& 522 %P 522 - 524 %I Elsevier %C New York, N.Y. %@ 0198-8859
