  1. * For both children and their mothers prevalence for HLA-A, -B, -DRB1 allele groups was weighted according to KSHV serostatus of the children (the selection criteria for inclusion in the study) using the formula: weighted prevalence (α) of HLA allele group X in the children (or mothers) = (Prevalence of X in KSHV negative children (or mothers) × proportion of KSHV negative children) + (Prevalence of X in KSHV positive children (or mothers) × Prevalence of KSHV positive children). See methods in text for details.
  2. † Total is less than 233 because fewer subjects were successfully typed for HLA-A, -B and -DRB1
  3. ‡ P-value for heterogeneity comparing HLA-A, -B and -DRB1 allele group distribution between mothers and children
