Abstract Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is one of the major vision-threatening
diseases in certain populations, such as Asians, native Americans, Hispanics and Middle …

Immune cells are essential for endometrial receptivity to embryo implantation and early
placental development. They exert tissue-remodeling and immune regulatory roles—acting …

A genome-wide screen for large structural variants showed that a copy number variant
(CNV) in the region encoding killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) associates with …

The genes coding for the main molecules involved in the human immune system–
immunoglobulins, human leucocyte antigen (HLA) molecules and killer‐cell immunoglobulin …

The immune responses of natural killer cells are regulated, in part, by killer cell
immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). The 16 closely-related genes in the KIR gene system …

Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are essential for acquiring natural killer (NK)
cell effector function, which is modulated by a balance between the net input of signals …

Endometriosis shares similarities with several autoimmune diseases. The human leukocyte
antigen (HLA)-C genotype is associated with several human autoimmune diseases. HLA-C …

In the present study, we investigate patterns of variation in the KIR cluster in a large and well-
characterized sample of worldwide human populations in the Human Genome Diversity …

Malaria is one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world. Immune responses to
Plasmodium falciparum malaria vary among individuals and between populations. Human …

An extensive family-based study of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the killer cell
immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) cluster was performed. We aimed to describe the LD …
