To determine the genetic diversity of the human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-A*19 group of alleles in the south Indian Tamil population, we studied 100 random healthy unrelated individuals. The frequency of HLA-A*19 was 37% with A*33 (45.9%), A*32 (29.7%), A*31 (16.2%), A*30 (5.4%), A*29 (2.7%) and A*74 (0%). The frequency distribution of the HLA-A*19 alleles was distinct and revealed marked similarities and variations with other populations.
