Abstract excerpt
Allelic, gene presence/absence, and gene-copy number variations in the KIR genes encoding Natural Killer (NK) cell surface receptors have been reported to be associated in case-control studies with infectious and autoimmune diseases, and relapse after stem cell transplantation. To understand more comprehensively the role of KIR gene presence/absence variation and HLA-KIR interactions in disease susceptibility, we...
