Abstract excerpt
Members of the killer immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptor (KIR) gene family are tightly clustered on human chromosome 19q13.4. Despite considerable variation in KIR gene content and allelic polymorphism, most KIR haplotypes belong to one of two broad groups termed A and B. The availability of contiguous genomic sequences for these haplotypes has allowed us to compare their genomic organization, nucleotide (nt)...
