Genetic polymorphism at the KIR gene locus: determination of gene, genotype, and haplotype frequencies in the Xinjiang Han population

G. - Y. Lin, Yu, B., Hu, W. - J., Zhang, Y. - Z., Zuo, X. - J., and Wang, Y. - B., Genetic polymorphism at the KIR gene locus: determination of gene, genotype, and haplotype frequencies in the Xinjiang Han population, vol. 14, pp. 6213-6222, 2015.

The aim of this study was to explore the genetic polymorphism, genotype, and haplotype characteristics of the KIR locus in the Xinjiang Han population in order to establish a foundation for future analysis of the relationship between KIR genes and disease. KIR genes were detected by sequence-specific primer-polymerase chain reaction in 184 randomly selected, healthy individuals from the Han population in Xinjiang, China. Standard genotype and haplotype analyses were conducted using Hsu’s standards classified for analysis.
