MICA: major Histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A. P value for disease susceptibility was determined by two-sided Fisher’s exact test.
Note. Valine 129 (Val¹²⁹) positive alleles: MICA^*004, ^*005, ^*006, ^*008, ^*009, ^*010, ^*016, ^*019, ^*027; methionine 129 (Met¹²⁹) positive alleles: MICA^*001, ^*002, ^*007, ^*011, ^*012, ^*015, ^*017, ^*018.
