Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether polymorphism in the manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene is associated with susceptibility or disease outcome in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: We used a case-control approach with 153 RA patients and 218 control subjects to examine for any associations between MnSOD genotypes and susceptibility to RA. We also investigated the influence of genotypes on radiologic...
