Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the common autoimmune diseases, with complex genetic components. Here, we report on a case-control association study of 178 SLE patients and 899 control subjects, using genome-wide gene-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. An SNP, rs3130342, in a 5' flanking region of the TNXB gene revealed a significant association with SLE [P = 0.000000930, odds ratio...
