Gorgan (Iran) have been studied for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1 genes for the first time. They are Turkmen and originated in East Asia around Altai Mts; they originally spoke a Turk language classified within the Turkish-Oguz group. Peripheral blood samples were collected from Gorgan City (Iran) and HLA typed by standard methodology.

- * These Aleuts have low intermixing with Russians and show high frequency of the HLA-A*24:02 allele, similar to some Pacific and Amerindian groups.
- * Overall, genetic, anthropological, and linguistic evidence suggests the Aleuts are more closely related to Europeans and Asians, particularly the Saami, Finns, and Buryats, rather than to other Indigenous North American groups.
Mapuche Amerindians live now widespread in Central South Chile and Argentina and speak "Mapudungun", an unclassified language. A group of Chilean Mapuche was studied for HLA genes using standard techniques. Typical Amerindian HLA genes and haplotypes are found in the population, like HLA-DRB1*14:02, -08:02 and class II haplotype DRB1*08:02-DQB1*04:02.
