The haplotypes were selected for a frequency >5% in either patients group or control group and the value < 0.05. value derived from Pearson Chi-square test; HFRS: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; AF: allele frequency in percentage.
The frequencies of the following haplotypes are not significant different between HFRS and Controls: A*02-B*46, A*30-B*13, A*33-B*58, A*02-B*51, A*02-B*13, A*11-B*13, B*13-DRB1*07, B*13-DRB1*12, B*52-DRB1*15, B*13-DRB1*15, A*30-B*13-DRB1*07, A*02-B*46-DRB1*09.
