Association of MICA gene polymorphisms with liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis patients in the Dongting Lake region
Major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related A (MICA) is a highly polymorphic gene located within the MHC class I region of the human genome. Expressed as a cell surface glycoprotein, MICA modulates immune surveillance by binding to its cognate receptor on natural killer cells, NKG2D, and...
