The framework genes KIR3DL3, 3DP1, 2DL4, and 3DL2 are present in all genomes of the patients with AML and in >99.94% of the healthy individuals, and therefore, not compiled in this table. KIR2DS4 is counted ‘present’ when either the full-length or the truncated variant of the allele or both are present at gene level. Numbers of cases evaluated for each test vary because of remaining ambiguities and are reported in parentheses.

Cen, centromeric; neg, negative; pos, positive; Tel, telomeric.
