  1. § With the exception of the Chinese Han population, the primers used were not the same as in the Italian study and hence cannot afford a real comparison. However, any higher percentages of detection are significant. # It should be noted that values given for 2DL5 and 2DS4*003 may contain 2DL5B and 2DS4*001/002 positivities where the latter alleles are reported as not-tested (nt).
