Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study is to investigate the significance of the polymorphisms of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) exon 1(+49) and promoter(-318) genes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Polymerase chain reaction of genomic DNA-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to determine genotypes of the CTLA-4 exon 1(+49) and promoter(-318) in 86 RA patients and 86 healthy control subjects....
