Journal ArticleDOI

Implications of the polymorphism of HLA-G on its function, regulation, evolution and disease association

TL;DR: The understanding of gene regulation and the role of polymorphic sites on gene function may permit an individualized approach for the future use of HLA-G for therapeutic purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic structure of 3′untranslated region of the HLA-G gene: polymorphisms and haplotypes

TL;DR: A high linkage disequilibrium among the variation sites was detected, especially among the 14-bp insertion and the alleles +3142G and +3187A, all previously associated with low mRNA availability, demonstrating that their effects are not independent.
Journal ArticleDOI

In silico analysis of microRNAS targeting the HLA-G 3' untranslated region alleles and haplotypes.

TL;DR: Results suggest that these miRNAs might play a relevant role on the HLA-G expression pattern, and the lowest free energies that could potentially lead to an mRNA degradation or translational repression are ranked.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Comprehensive Study of Polymorphic Sites along the HLA-G Gene: Implication for Gene Regulation and Evolution

TL;DR: Several lines of evidence indicate that HLA-G polymorphisms at the 5'-upstream regulatory region (5' URR) and 3'-untranslated region (3' UTR) may influence the Hla-G expression levels, and several lines ofevidence for balancing selection acting on the regulatory regions are reported.
