The immunoreceptor programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) is reported to play an important role in the regulation of peripheral tolerance in rodents, and it was recently shown that a polymorphism in a regulatory site of the PD-1 gene is associated with susceptibility to the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in humans. We investigated the existence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PD-1...
