The relative contribution of founder effects and natural selection to the observed distribution
of human blood groups has been debated since blood group frequencies were shown to …

Abstract Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing
beta cells in the pancreas. Prevention of T1D will require the ability to detect and modulate …

By interacting with polymorphic HLA class I molecules, the killer cell immunoglobulin-like
receptors (KIR) influence the innate and adaptive immune response to infection. The KIR …

The current review paper highlights the complicacies associated with communities relying
on wheat as their dietary staple. Although, wheat is an important source of nutrients but is …

More than 50 years have elapsed since the association of human leukocyte antigens (HLA)
with type 1 diabetes (T1D) was first reported. Since then, methods for identification of HLA …

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) regulate natural killer cell response against
infection and malignancy. KIR genes are variable in the number and type, thereby …

Parallel to the growth in interest in the past few years in the killer immunoglobulin‐like
receptor (KIR) genes has been the elucidation of the presence/absence of these genes and …

Killer immunoglobulin‐like receptors (KIRs) are known to modulate natural killer (NK) and
NK T‐cell function by interacting with human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class I ligands on …

Objective Killer cell immunoglobulin‐like receptor (KIR) genes and their putative ligands
human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐C genes have been associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) …

Abstract Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by destruction of pancreatic insulin-
producing beta cells by immune cells. In general, environmental and genetic factors can …
