The balance of expression of PTPN22 splice forms is significantly different in rheumatoid arthritis patients compared with controls

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The R620W variant in protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor 22 (PTPN22) is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The PTPN22 gene has alternatively spliced transcripts and at least two of the splice forms have been confirmed to encode different PTPN22 (LYP) proteins, but detailed information regarding expression of these is lacking, especially with regard to autoimmune diseases. METHODS: We...
