Sure! KIR and HLA-C are also really important.

But we know less associations about them. Same applies to TCR genes. A chicken-and-egg problem, we need good massive GWAS to find out.

My background is in CS, AI and statistics. But I've done lots of graduate research in genetics and epigenetics. I'm very interested in understanding the interactions between HLA and commensal / pathogen epitopes in health & disease. Also in vaccine design.

How about you? I can see from your posts you are with the Big Data Genomics team at UC Berkeley AMPLab.
