Figure 2. KIR gene copy number determination of a large cohort by MLPA.

Figure 2

(A) Overview of the Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptor gene family. The genes are arranged in two haplotypes (A and B), which both always contain the framework genes as depicted in black. Both haplotypes may or may not contain the genes in white. The genes depicted in grey are supposedly found only on haplotype A or B. (B) KIR gene copy numbers were determined for 120 individuals by MLPA. Shown is a graphical representation of the percentages of donors with 0, 1, 2, 3 or more than 3 copies of each KIR gene in their genome.
