Abstract excerpt
We have recently reported that in addition to FcgammaRIIIa (CD16), approximately 45% of normal individuals also express FcgammaRIIc (CD32) on their natural killer (NK) cells. We found this expression to be regulated by an allelic polymorphism localized in the first extracellular exon (EC1) of the FcgammaRIIC gene, corresponding to aa 13. This is determined by a single nucleotide substitution, which results in...
