Southern Bahia, Brazil: KIR gene-content distribution in a highly admixed population from Ilhéus. Hum Immunol. 2018 Sep 22;: Authors: Issler HC, Amorim LM, Petzl-Erler ML, de Carvalho LD, Bezerra HD, Fagundes Júnior J, Gadelha SR, Augusto DG Abstract We here describe the KIR gene-content genotypes in the highly admixed population from Ilhéus, a city located in Bahia State, Northeast Brazil. Bahia is the State with the largest contribution of African ethnicity in comparison to other Brazilian areas and this is the first report of a population from this region. A total of 32 KIR gene-content genotypes have been found, from which 18 were observed in a single individual.
