Figure 2. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis of 9 Swiss regions based on mean Reynold's genetic distances computed for 5 HLA loci (HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1 and -DQB1).

Figure 2

Symbols refer to the language spoken in each region. The stress value is 0.142 (indicating a rather good fit of the graphical representation to the original distance matrix).
