Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation at a linkage disequilibrium block encompassing the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) gene influences susceptibility to autoimmunity, but identifying the polymorphism(s) responsible for this effect has been challenging. Recently, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located 3' to the known polyadenylation site of CTLA4 (+6230G>A) and strongly associated with autoimmune disease was...
