Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The -945C/G polymorphism of the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has been associated with systemic sclerosis, however, results were conflicted. The aim of this study was to validate the evidence for the CTGF -945C/G polymorphism and systemic sclerosis risk. METHODS: Electronic search of PubMed was conducted to select studies. Case-control studies containing available genotype frequencies of...
