Abstract A total of 604 individuals living in Montevideo and other places in Uruguay were studied in relation to three I HLA loci. The most common alleles observed (percentages in parentheses) were A2(24), A9(15), A19(11), B12(12), B35(12), and C4(16). The most marked departures from linkage equilibrium (all numbers multiplied by 105) were B35-C4(636), A2-B5(590), A2C3(515), A2B14(494), and A19-B12(485). These findings do not contradict the hypothesis that while most of the Uruguayan population is of Caucasoid origin, significant African and Amerindian genes may exist in its gene pool.
