Diversity of KIR genes and their HLA-C ligands in Ugandan populations with historically varied malaria transmission intensity

2021-02-09

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> Malaria is one of the most serious infectious diseases in the world. The malaria burden is greatly affected by human immunity, and immune responses vary between populations. Genetic diversity in <italic>KIR</italic> and <italic>HLA-C</italic> genes, which are important in immunity to infectious diseases, is likely to play a role in this heterogeneity. Several st...
