Abstract excerpt
The T-box transcription factor T-bet is a key regulator for the lineage commitment in CD4 Th1 cells and CD8 T cells by activating the hallmark production of interferon-γ, and its expression level is linked to autoimmune diseases. T-1993C and T-1514C polymorphisms in the TBX21 gene (encoding T-bet) promoter can affect transcription activity. We investigated the distributions of these functional polymorphisms in 84...
