Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible implication of CD24 gene in the genetic predisposition to giant cell arteritis (GCA). METHODS: A total of 120 patients diagnosed with biopsy-proven GCA and 195 ethnically matched controls from the same region were studied. Two putative functional polymorphisms, a C to T coding polymorphism (rs8734) and a TG deletion in the 3' untranslated region (rs3838646) were used as CD24...
