Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence have implicated the gene encoding cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) in susceptibility to various autoimmune diseases. However, published studies of genetic association between CTLA4 polymorphisms and vitiligo have yielded conflicting results. Here, we describe two new genetic association studies of CTLA4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and generalized vitiligo in two...
