Abstract excerpt
Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaR) impact upon the development of inflammatory arthritis through immune complex stimulation and proinflammatory cytokine production. FcgammaRIIa, FcgammaRIotaIotaIotaa and FcRgammaIIIb polymorphisms were genotyped in 212 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 371 healthy control subjects using an allelic-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). No significant skewing in the distribution...
