Abstract excerpt
The autoimmune-type Fcgr2b with deletion polymorphism in AP-4-binding site in the promoter region is suggested to be one most plausible susceptibility gene for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We previously found that there is a strong epistatic interaction between the autoimmune-type Fcgr2b polymorphism and Y chromosome-linked autoimmune acceleration (Yaa) mutation, thus severe SLE observed in BXSB males...
