Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) with 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), a +49 A/G polymorphism in coding sequence (CDS) 1 and a C/T base exchange in the promoter region at position -318. METHODS: Restriction enzyme digestion of PCR amplified genomic DNA was used to analyze the CTLA-4 SNP in 32 patients with WG and 100-122 ethnically matched healthy controls. RESULTS:...
