Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter region of MHC2TA gene (-168*G/A, rs3087456), which has previously been described in a Swedish rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cohort, in British Caucasian RA patients. METHODS: We genotyped 733 RA patients and 613 healthy controls for MHC2TA -168*G/A SNP by amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS). Data were...
