متن کاملMICA association with presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (POHS).
PURPOSE MHC class I chain related gene A (MICA), a polymorphic and stress-inducible cell surface molecule, is located centromeric to human leukocyte antigen locus B (HLA-B) in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region on chromosome 6. MICA is thought to be involved in the innate immune response. An alanine repeat polymorphism is present in the MICA transmembrane region, for which several disease...
