Abstract excerpt
The human inhibitory kappaB-like gene (IkappaBL) maps to a chromosomal region approximately 25 kb telomeric of the TNF gene at 6p21.3. IkappaBL encodes a protein related to IkappaBalpha that may interact with members of the NF-kappaB/Rel family. We evaluated the role of IkappaBL gene polymorphism in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Genomic DNA isolated from individuals with...
