Abstract excerpt
Genetic and functional studies suggest that polymorphism in cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA4) and inducible costimulator (ICOS) genes, both reported to harbour autoimmune susceptibility loci, could regulate the immune activation through affecting their expression and splicing of...
