Abstract excerpt
The rs2476601-T allele at the protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene has been consistently associated with several autoimmune diseases in European-derived populations. However, little is known about the allele and haplotype frequency distributions in PTPN22 among populations derived from other ethnic groups. In the present study, the allele and haplotype frequency distributions of six...
