Abstract excerpt
The killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene complex, a highly polymorphic region of the human genome that encodes proteins involved in immune responses, poses strong challenges in genotyping owing to its remarkable genetic diversity and structural intricacy. Accurate analysis of KIR alleles, including their structural variations, is crucial for understanding their roles in various immune responses....
