HLA-disease association
Population studies carried out over the last several decades have identified a long list of human disease that are significantly more common among individuals that carry particular HLA alleles. For example, HLA-B alleles (eg HLA-B*2702, HLA-B*2705) are associated with ankylosing spondylitis, HLA-DQB1*0602 is associated with narcolepsy.
