Abstract excerpt
A number of studies reported associations of HLA-DRB1, TNFalpha (TNF) promoter and TNF receptor II (TNFR2, TNFRSF1B) polymorphisms with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), however, the results have often been inconsistent. Such lack of consistency could partly derive from the population admixture involved in the case-control study. To avoid such a problem, polymorphisms in these genes were analyzed using...
