Abstract excerpt
T cell-specific T-box transcription factor gene (TBX21) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) have been suggested as 2 candidate genes for conferring susceptibility to autoimmunity. We herein hypothesized that the polymorphisms of TBX21 and STAT4 genes might contribute to the susceptibility of Chinese individuals to aplastic anemia (AA) as T cell-mediated immune disease characterized by...
