MICA-129 polymorphism affects the binding affinity of MICA molecules with the NKG2D receptor and influences effector cell function. The genotype met/met was associated with the severity of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in patients with chronic Chagas heart disease, while the val/val genotype was associated with the absence of LVSD.
MICA-129多态性影响MICA分子与NKG2D受体的结合亲和力,并影响效应细胞功能。基因型met/met与慢性恰加斯心脏病患者左心室收缩功能障碍(LVSD)的严重程度相关,而val/val基因型与无LVSD相关。
