The CDKN1A gene encoding a cell cycle inhibitor, p21(WAF1/CIP1), is located in the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility locus on chromosome 6p21.2. Decreased cellular levels of p21 are associated with SLE. Here, we examine four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the promoter and two in the first intron of CDKN1A for association with SLE susceptibility. A comparison of 742 Korean SLE...
