title: [Allelic polymorphism analysis of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor gene 3DL2 in Zhejiang Han population].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the allelic polymorphism of killer cell immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptor (KIR) gene 3DL2 in Zhejiang Han population.
  
  
  METHODS
  Allelic definition within KIR3DL2 was achieved through using the PCR-sequence specific oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSOP) method and the specific amplification of exon 3-exon 4 and exon 8-exon 9. Twenty-one digoxigenin-labelled probes were used to the SSOP analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Seven alleles of KIR3DL2 were observed, in which KIR3DL2 *002 had the highest allele frequency, 0.57. One sample could not be given the allele combination according to the probe profile.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The PCR-SSOP method was reliable. There is a distinctive allele frequency of KIR3DL2 in Zhejiang Han population.
