These were embryonic lethals, but when we looked at heterozygote carriers of these mutations, some developed cancer at a high rate as adults’.
Figure 1shows the parameter regions in which population heterozygote advantage is expected and those in which the contrary is expected: homozygotes on average are more likely to have a favorable disease course.
Of the two ways described above in which MHC genotype may affect disease outcome, the first - association between a particular allele and disease outcome - has been repeatedly documented in human populations by various methods of genetic epidemiology [ 17 ] . The second kind of effect, more vigorous immune responses to a pathogen by a heterozygote as compared to homozygotes for the same alleles, which we term "allele-specific overdominance," has been suggested by several animal studies [ 18 19 20 21 ] , although none of these studies is unambiguous (see DISCUSSION).
In contrast, we have shown that population heterozygote advantage depends on not only the effects of individual genotypes on disease outcome, but also on allele frequencies.
Meanwhile, findings of population heterozygote advantage should not be interpreted as confirming the mechanism of allele-specific overdominance.
