Differential allele expression between heterozygous allele pairs of eight human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes.
| Proportion of the allele-specific expression out of the gene-specific expression* | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median | Range | ASE 0.01–0.20 (%) | ASE 0.21–0.40 (%) | ASE 0.41–0.50 (%) | |
| HLA-A | 0.38 | 0.18–0.50 | 3 | 68 | 29 |
| HLA-B | 0.37 | 0.25–0.50 | 0 | 67 | 33 |
| HLA-C | 0.38 | 0.16–0.50 | 12 | 44 | 44 |
| HLA-DRB1 | 0.47 | 0.37–0.50 | 0 | 5 | 95 |
| HLA-DPA1 | 0.30 | 0.21–0.50 | 0 | 73 | 27 |
| HLA-DPB1 | 0.40 | 0.01–0.50 | 13 | 39 | 47 |

| HLA-DQB1 | 0.33 | 0.11–0.50 | 14 | 58 | 28 |
*The allele-specific expression (ASE) was calculated as the proportion of the allele-specific expression out of the gene-specific expression attributed to the less expressed allele.
