Abstract excerpt
Although deletion in the low-affinity IgG receptor gene FCGR3B has repeatedly been implicated in systemic autoimmune disease, the role of FCGR3B copy number variation (CNV) in autoimmunity still remains unclear. Factors such as study size, ethnicity, specific disease phenotype and experimental methodology may explain these conflicting results. Here we aimed at using meta-analysis to assess the role for FCGR3B CNV...
