Abstract excerpt
In this study, we investigated the polymorphisms of the exon 1 (+49A/G), promoter sites (-1722T/C, -1661A/G, -318C/T), and 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) (+6230 A/G) of the CTLA-4 gene in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affected patients. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to determine genotypes of these five markers in 130 SLE patients and 130 healthy controls. Of the...
