Figure 3.

KIR genotype profiles in total alcoholic cirrhosis patients and in those with and without viral infection. The ID genotypes refer to the genotype classification according to the allele frequencies website (http://www.allelefrequencies.net). The figure represents the frequency of each genotype and indicates the number of individuals carrying a particular genotype in each group. Genotype groups are defined in Material and methods. Each genotype is classified taking into account the total number of KIR genes as well as inhibitory and activating KIR genes. KIR2DL5 was designated as a centromeric KIR gene. Dark boxes represent the KIR genes present and white boxes represent the absent genes in tested individuals

n – number of each genotype, KIR – killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors, iKIR – inhibitory killercell immunoglobulin-like receptors, aKIR – activatory killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors.
