CONTEXT: A four-marker haplotype in the 5' region of the Fc receptor-like 3 gene (markers FCRL3_3 to FCRL3_6) has been identified recently as contributing to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility in the Japanese population. The promoter FCRL3_3*C allele also showed significant association with autoimmune thyroid disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. These findings raise the possibility that this locus may...
