Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To detect genetic polymorphisms associated with high serum interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) levels in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and explore interactions in associated polymorphisms. STUDY DESIGN: Eighty-five children of European ancestry with definite/probable JDM were studied. Selected genetic polymorphisms that were associated with high IFN-alpha levels in 12 untreated patients with newly diagnosed...
