Natural killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) locus profiles in African and South Asian populationsP J Norman
South Thames Tissue Typing, Guy s Hospital, London, UK
Genes Immun 3:86-95. 2002..0001 to < 0.004). Furthermore, gene frequency independent deviances in the linkage disequilibrium were apparent between populations...
Distribution of natural killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor sequences in three ethnic groupsP J Norman
South Thames Tissue Typing, Guy s Hospital, London, UK

Immunogenetics 58:474-80. 2006..Here is clear evidence for balancing selection on the KIR system and the biological importance of both A and B haplotypes for the survival of human populations...
SNP haplotypes and allele frequencies show evidence for disruptive and balancing selection in the human leukocyte receptor complexPaul J Norman
Clinical Transplantation Laboratory, Guy s Hospital, 3rd Floor New Guy s House, St Thomas Street, London, SE1 9RT, UK
Immunogenetics 56:225-37. 2004..The different natural selection pressures acting on each locus may have contributed to a lack of linkage disequilibrium between them...
Novel KIR3DL1 alleles and their expression levels on NK cells: convergent evolution of KIR3DL1 phenotype variation?Rasmi Thomas
Cancer and Inflammation Program, Laboratory of Experimental Immunology, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD 21702, USA
J Immunol 180:6743-50. 2008..These results raise the possibility that KIR3DL1 evolution maintains variation in KIR3DL1 cell-surface expression levels, potentially due to the effect of such variation on functional capacity...
