Because these studies group all homozygotes and group all heterozygotes, they do not, in fact, test the hypothesis of allele-specific overdominance, which is conditional on the alleles involved.
, a residual of -116,000; n = 12), the AB heterozygotes have an average of -8,000 neurons ( n = 18), and the BB homozygotes have an average of 290,000 neurons ( n = 6).
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.
As an alternative to directly examining the hypothesis of allele-specific overdominance, several investigators have compared the infectious disease outcomes of heterozygotes at a given HLA locus, as a group, to the outcomes of homozygotes at the same locus, as a group.
There have been no studies (to our knowledge) in humans that directly compare the infectious disease outcomes of heterozygotes to those of homozygotes for the same alleles (interestingly, the situation is very different for autoimmune diseases; see DISCUSSION for further consideration).
