Background: The function of the MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A (MICA) gene, which belongs to the MHC class I chain-related genes, is to trigger cytolysis of target cells mediated by NKG2D receptor recognition in NK (Natural Killer) cells and CD8 T-lymphocytes. The MICA gene has a high degree of polymorphism, especially observed in exons 2 – 5. MICA allelic diversity has been reported in association with some autoimmune diseases such Behcet’s disease, psoriasis and diabetes, as well as with organ rejections. Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse MICA gene polymorphism in the Slovak population, to establish frequencies of MICA alleles and to compare the results with those found in other Western Eurasian populations. No such st...
