Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the MICA gene revealed a trinucleotide repeat (GCT) microsatellite polymorphism within the transmembrane region. So far, seven alleles of the exon 5 of the MICA gene, which consist of 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 repetitions of GCT or five repetitions of GCT with an additional nucleotide insertion (GGCT), have been identified. These alleles have been accordingly named A4, A5, A6, A7, A9, A10, and A5.1, and...
