The MICA‐129 dimorphism affects NKG2D signaling and outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
19 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
The MHC class I chain‐related molecule A (MICA) is a highly polymorphic ligand for the activating natural killer (NK)‐cell receptor NKG2D. A single nucleotide polymorphism causes a valine to methionine exchange at position 129. Presence of a MICA‐129Met allele in patients (n = 452) undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) increased the chance of overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.77, P =...
