Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study examines two common, functional, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the genes coding the human homolog of murine-double-minute-2 (MDM2) and p53 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on the hypothesis that p53 may be an important negative regulator of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor kappa b (NFKappaB). METHODS: Genomic DNA was obtained from 221...
