Abstract excerpt
In 2020, we reported MICA allele frequencies from a cohort of over one million German individuals. This study identified MICA*008 (42%), MICA*002 (12%), and MICA*009 (9%) as the most common MICA alleles at protein resolution. Additionally, we discovered novel alleles with a cumulative frequency of 0.3%. To reduce this fraction of unnamed sequences, we aimed to fully characterize the most frequent novel alleles...
