255 PRF deficiency occurs not only with allelic variants characterized by mutations in the coding region of the gene. McIlroy et al. reported that the occurrence of a C/T polymorphism at position-398 of the proximal promoter region of the PRF1 gene was associated with decreased quantities of PRF in CTLs in HIV infected patients. A decrease of about 50% of control PRF levels was observed in hete...
متن کاملDeep lamellar keratoplasty for corneal perforation due to chronic graft-versus-host disease following allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.
