Variations of human killer cell lectin-like receptors: common occurrence of NKG2-C deletion in the general population.

Genes and immunity - 1 Mar 2003

Hikami K, Tsuchiya N, Yabe T, Tokunaga K

Abstract excerpt

CD94 and NKG2 are members of the NK cell receptor families, and are encoded in the natural killer gene complex (NKC) on human chromosome 12p12-13, one of the candidate chromosomal regions for rheumatic diseases. To examine a possible association between variations in CD94 and NKG2 genes and genetic susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we carried out a systematic...
