Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To assess whether there are cis-regulatory polymorphisms that regulate protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) expression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: RNA was extracted from positively selected CD56+, CD8+, and CD4+ mononuclear cells and the 'residual' cells from 12 RA patients heterozygous for the PTPN22 C1858T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs2476601). Relative...
