Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To analyse FN gene polymorphisms in type II mixed cryoglobulinemic syndrome (MCsn), an immune-complex mediated systemic vasculitis linked to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and characterized by rheumatoid factor (RF) positive B-cell proliferation at high risk for the progression into non Hogkin's lymphoma (NHL). METHODS: Samples from eighty-one patients, with MCsn (type II serum cryoglobulins and...
