Abstract excerpt
To examine whether polymorphism at the SAA loci is associated with the development of amyloid protein A (AA)-amyloidosis, we determined the genotypes at the SAA1 and SAA2 loci in 43 AA-amyloidosis patients (amyloidosis population) and 77 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who had been ill for less than 5 years (early RA population). We also compared the frequencies of the genotypes at the SAA1 locus among 90...
