Abstract
Major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A (MICA) is located at 46 kb centromeric of HLA-B. It is highly polymorphic and interacts with NKG2D, its receptor on the surface of NK, Tgammadelta and T CD8 lymphocytes. Data on MICA polymorphism in different populations are still limited. Our aim was to establish allelic diversity of MICA gene and linkage disequilibrium with HLA-B in our population. DNA was obtained from 154 unrelated healthy individuals from the Murcia region in southeastern Spain. HLA-B genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes and allele-specific PCR-sequence-specific primers, and MICA genotyping by using PCR-sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes. A total of 19 MICA alleles were detected on this study. MICA*008 was the most frequent allele (25.3%), followed by MICA*002 (16.1%), MICA*004 (14.9%), MICA*001 (7.8%), MICA*009 and MICA*016 (7.1%), and MICA*010 (4.6%). Eleven alleles had frequencies of <1%. In the haplotype analysis, MICA*008-B*0702 was found to be the most common, followed by MICA*004-B*4403 and MICA*001-B*1801, MICA*002-B*3501, MICA*008-B*4402, MICA*004-B*4901, MICA*008-B*0801, and MICA*002-B*3801. The frequency of MICA*010-B...Continue Reading
