Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate genetic variants in the gene neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 (NCF1) for association with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In rodent models, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in Ncf1 has been shown to be a major locus regulating severity of arthritis. Ncf1 encodes one of five subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex. In humans the genomic structure of NCF1 is complex,...
