KIR gene content imputation from single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the Finnish population

The killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene cluster on chromosome 19 encodes cell surface glycoproteins that bind class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules as well as some other ligands. KIR gene gene copy number variation associates with the outcome of transplantations and susceptibility to immune-mediated diseases. Here we describe a stand-alone and freely available gene content imputation for 12 KIR genes. The models were trained using 818 Finnish biobank samples genotyped for 5774 KIR-region SNPs and analysed for KIR gene content with targeted sequencing.
