Genetic variability in markers of HLA-C expression in two diverse South African populations.
An insertion-deletion (indel) polymorphism within the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of HLA-C has been shown to be involved in the regulation of HLA-C expression. Individuals who carry a deletion at this position exhibit increased HLA-C expression, which associates with lower viral set point in H...
