Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to replicate the previously reported association of KLF12 gene polymorphisms with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Two independent cohorts from Spain (1,360 RA patients and 1,520 controls) and the Netherlands (1,018 RA patients and 1,150 controls) were genotyped for KLF12 rs1887346 and rs9565072 single-nucleotide polymorphisms using a TaqMan 5'-allele discrimination assay. No evidence...
