Abstract
Several studies have evaluated the association between killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) genes and susceptibility risk to tuberculosis (TB) infection. Nonetheless, their outcomes have not been conclusive and consistent. Here we implemented a systematic review and meta-analysis of KIR genes association to susceptibility risk of pulmonary TB (PTB) infection to attain a clear understanding of the involvement of these genes in susceptibility to PTB infection. A systematic search was conducted in the MEDLINE/PubMed and Scopus databases to find case-control studies published before November 2020. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated to determine the association between KIR genes and risk of PTB infection. After comprehensive searching and implementing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis. Four KIR genes were found to have significant positive association with PTB susceptibility risk of infection, including 2DL3 (OR = 1.454, 95% CI = 1.157-1.827; P = 0.001), 2DS1 (OR = 1.481, 95% CI = 1.334-1.837; P < 0.001), 2DS4 (OR = 1.782, 95% CI = 1.273-2.495; P = 0.001) and 3DL1 (OR = 1.726, 95% CI = 1.277-2.333; P < 0.001). However, the results showed that the remaining KIR genes (2DS2-4, 2DL1, 2, 4, 3DL1-2) and two pseudogenes (2DP1 and 3DP1) did not have significant associations with risk of PTB infection. This meta-analysis provides reliable evidence that the KIR genes 2DL3, 2DS1, 2DS4, and 3DL1 may be associated with an increased risk of PTB infection.

Abstract
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) consists of activating and inhibitory genes are essential for natural killer cell education. To determine the association of KIRs with susceptibility to invasive Breast cancer (BC), genotyping of 16 KIRs was performed by sequence-specific primers-polymerase chain reaction in 226 confirmed cases of BC with defined estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) status and 226 healthy controls (CNs). We observed a lower frequency of 2DL1 and 2DS4del along with increased frequency of 2DS4fl in cases compared to CNs. Further analysis revealed a higher frequency of KIR2DL2, 2DS1, 2DS2,3DS1 in ER+ cases, 2DL2, 2DL5 in PR+ and 2DL1 in HER2+ cases compared to CNs. The detrimental role of KIR2DS4fl was observed in ER+ and PR+ cases whereas 2DS4del confers protection against ER+, PR+, and HER2+ cases. We noted the predisposing role of Bx genotype, KIR2DS1, 2DS2, 2DS5, 2DL2, 2DL5 for lymphatic invasion in ER+ cases along with a higher rate of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in carriers of Bx genotype and KIR2DS1 in ER+ cases. We suggest a link between B haplotype associated genes with the increased risk of lymphatic invasion and LNM, particularly in ER+ cases of BC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A large proportion of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in China do not respond to entecavir (ETV) treatment. It remains unclear whether the Killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genotypes and haplotypes were associated with the advantage of seroconversion in phepatitis B e-Antigen (HBeAg) positive CHB patients treated with ETV. METHODS Polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) was used to analyze KIR genes in a Chinese Han population of 198 ETV-treated HBeAg-positive CHB patients and 200 healthy controls. Of the 198 patients, 59 were complete response group (CRG) and 139 were null or partial response group (NPRG) to the treatment with ETV. RESULTS The frequencies of KIR genotype M, and haplotype 8 were significantly higher(P = 0.017, OR = 2.497,95%CI = 5.39-1.16 and P = 0.034, OR = 1.905,95%CI = 3.48-1.04, respectively), while the frequencies of genotype AH and haplotype 5 were significantly lower (P = 0.039, OR = 0.504, 95%CI = 0.97-0.26 and P = 0.031, OR = 0.601, 95%CI = 0.96-0.38, respectively) in HBeAg-positive CHB patient group than those in healthy group. Of note, the frequencies of KIR genotype AF and haplotype 1 were significantly higher (P = 0.022, OR = 2.860, 95%CI = 7.24-1.13 and P = 0.001, OR = 3.261, 95%CI = 6.47-1.64, respectively), while the frequencies of genotype AH and haplotype 5 were significantly lower (P = 0.038, OR = 0.338, 95%CI = 0.98-0.12 and P = 0.004, OR = 0.354, 95%CI = 0.73-0.17, respectively) in NPRG than those in CRG. CONCLUSIONS The patients with KIR genotype AF and haplotype 1 might be negative, while genotype AH and haplotype 5 might be of advantage to the therapy with ETV, which are useful for improving novel personalized precise therapy strategy in HBeAg-positive CHB patients.

Reduced frequency of two activating KIR genes in patients with sepsis. Hum Immunol 2017; 78:363-369.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cell activity is regulated by activating and inhibitory signals transduced by killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). Diversity in KIR gene repertoire among individuals may affect disease outcome. Sepsis development and severity may be influenced by genetic factors affecting the immune response. Here, we examined sixteen KIR genes and their human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class I ligands in critical patients, aiming to identify patterns that could be associated with sepsis. Male and female patients (ages ranging between 14 and 94years-old) were included. DNA samples from 211 patients with sepsis and 60 controls (critical care patients with no sepsis) collected between 2004 and 2010 were included and genotyped for KIR genes using the polymerase chain reaction method with sequence-specific oligonucleotide (PCR-SSO), and for HLA genes using the polymerase chain reaction method with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). The frequencies of activating KIR2DS1 and KIR3DS1 in sepsis patients when compared to controls were 41.23% versus 55.00% and 36.49% versus 51.67% (p=0.077 and 0.037 respectively before Bonferroni correction). These results indicate that activating KIR genes 2DS1 and 3DS1 may more prevalent in critical patients without sepsis than in patients with sepsis, suggesting a potential protective role of activating KIR genes in sepsis.

Abstract
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes encode for activating and inhibitory surface receptors, which are correlated with the regulation of Natural Killer (NK) cell cytotoxic activity. Reduced NK cell cytotoxic activity has been consistently reported in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) patients, and KIR haplotypes and allelic polymorphism remain to be investigated. The aim of this article was to conduct a pilot study to examine KIR genotypes, haplotypes, and allelic polymorphism in CFS/ME patients and nonfatigued controls (NFCs). Comparison of KIR and allelic polymorphism frequencies revealed no significant differences between 20 CFS/ME patients and 20 NFCs. A lower frequency of the telomeric A/B motif (P < 0.05) was observed in CFS/ME patients compared with NFCs. This pilot study is the first to report the differences in the frequency of KIR on the telomeric A/B motif in CFS/ME patients. Further studies with a larger CFS/ME cohort are required to validate these results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in toll-like receptors (TLR) 1, 2, and 6 impair cell signaling in response to spirochetal lipoproteins. We investigated whether common SNPs in TLR1, TLR2, or TLR6 were associated with laboratory- or clinically-defined neurosyphilis. METHODS Polymorphisms in the genes for TLR1 (a T→G mutation at position 1805), TLR2 (a G→A mutation at position 2258), and TLR6 (a C→T mutation at position 745) were sought in 456 white patients with syphilis. Laboratory-defined neurosyphilis included a reactive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test. Clinically-defined neurosyphilis included new vision or hearing loss. Controls had CSF white blood cells of 5/μL or less, nonreactive CSF-Venereal Disease Research Laboratory, and no vision or hearing loss. RESULTS Overall, 26.2% of patients had laboratory-defined and 36.2% had clinically-defined neurosyphilis. Compared with controls, patients with any of the 3 SNPs were more likely to have laboratory-defined neurosyphilis. Those with TLR2 or TLR6 SNPs were more likely to have clinically-defined neurosyphilis. These associations were independent of serum rapid plasma reagin titer. CONCLUSIONS A common TLR1 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of laboratory-defined neurosyphilis, and common TLR2 and TLR6 polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of both laboratory- and clinically-defined neurosyphilis. These data suggest that host factors impact the natural history of syphilis.

Abstract
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum spirochete bacterium. The killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR), interacting with human leukocyte antigens (HLA), regulate the activations of natural killer (NK) cells and certain T-cell subsets in response to microbe infection. The objective of this study was to explore whether KIR and HLA-C gene polymorphisms were associated with syphilis in a Chinese Han population. Polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) method was used to genotype KIR and HLA-C genes in 231 syphilis patients and 247 healthy controls. Framework genes KIR2DL4, KIR3DL2, KIR3DL3 and KIR3DP1 were present in all individuals. The frequencies of KIR2DS3 and KIR3DS1 were higher in syphilis patients than in healthy controls (p = 0.030 and p = 0.038, respectively), while the frequency of KIR2DS5 was higher in healthy controls than in syphilis patients (p = 0.015; OR = 0.575). The homozygote for HLA-C1 allele (HLA-C1C1) was more common in controls compared with syphilis patients (p = 0.030; OR = 0.667). The frequency of individuals with HLA-C1C1 and KIR2DL3 genotype was higher in control group relative to syphilis patient group (p = 0.018; OR = 0.647). These data indicated that KIR2DS3 and KIR3DS1 were more prevalent in syphilis patients than in controls, and that KIR2DS5, HLA-C1C1 and HLA-C1C1-KIR2DL3 were more prevalent in controls than in syphilis patients, respectively. These will require further investigation using functional studies.
