Abstract excerpt

A geographical stratification of Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) has been reported worldwide. We first analyzed the distribution of 15 KIR genes in a sample of 50 East-Sicilians (ES). We used a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to compare the KIR genetic content among ES and 10 modern populations who are descendants of the ancient invaders of Sicily: Spanish, French, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns,...
