Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the CD69 gene as a new functional candidate gene for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) genetic predisposition. A case-control association study including 933 RA patients and 800 healthy individuals was conducted. Five haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs929615, rs3176806, rs4763299, rs11052877, and rs3176789) covering the CD69 gene coding, 5' and 3'...
