Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recent studies of 2 complex diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Crohn's disease (CD), showed associations with genes mapping to the cytokine gene cluster on 5q31. In particular, a functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping to intron 1 of the organic cation transporter 1 (OCTN1; SLC22A4) gene was associated with RA in a Japanese population, and a haplotype of a different SNP in the same...
