1 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To test if interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), IL-4, or IL-10 gene polymorphisms could be used as markers of susceptibility or severity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: The study included 108 patients with early RA followed up for 2 years and 128 healthy controls. From genomic DNA, 6 polymorphisms in genes for IL-1beta, IL-1Ra, IL-10, and IL-4 were typed. Allelic...
