Abstract excerpt
Human Fc gamma receptor (Fc gamma R) genes form a clustered gene family on chromosome 1q21-24. Although the association of Fc gamma R polymorphisms with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been extensively studied, the results are often contradictory. In this study, Fc gamma RIIA-131H/R, Fc gamma RIIIA-176F/V and Fc gamma RIIIB-NA1/2 genotypes were determined in the Japanese patients with SLE (n = 81) or...
