Abstract excerpt
The contribution of genetic heterogeneity to the pathogenesis of multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) has not been elucidated. We investigated frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the candidate genes protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22), B-cell scaffold protein with ankyrin repeats (BANK1), B lymphocyte kinase (Blk), and Fc gamma receptor class IIB (FCGR2B), which have been...
