Abstract excerpt
We recently identified a trinucleotide repeat polymorphism, (GCT)n, within the transmembrane (TM) segment of the human MHC class I MICA gene (MHC class I chain-related gene A). Five distinct alleles (A4, A5, A5.1, A6, A9) corresponding to 4, 5, 5 with one nucleotide insertion, 6 and 9 repetitions...
