Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of the polymorphisms and haplotypes in the PD-1 and PD-1 ligand genes with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in a Chinese population. METHODS: A total of 196 Chinese patients with ankylosing spondylitis and 180 age- and sex-matched controls of the same ethnic origin were included in the study. The polymorphisms in PD-1 and PD-1 ligand genes were genotyped using polymerase...
