Distinct genetic polymorphisms, which are potentially involved in antiviral NK cell response, have been described. Here, the association between polymorphisms at IgG1 genetic marker 3/17, FcγRIIIα/CD16a 158V/F, NKG2Cwt/del, CD226/rs727088, and rs763361, respectively, and HCMV viremia and disease were...
