OBJECTIVES: To develop a robust assay for genotyping the FcgammaRIIIA-158V/F polymorphism and to confirm the putative association between the FcgammaRIIIA-158V allele and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: This allelic association study examined the FcgammaRIIIA-158V/F polymorphism for association with RA. A novel single-stranded conformational polymorphism assay was used to genotype 828 RA patients and 581...
