Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptor4 (TLR4) plays an important role in the induction and regulation of the innate or adaptive immune responses. Thus, the genetic variation in TLR4 gene may influence the development of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Several studies have investigated the roles of genetic polymorphisms of TLR4 gene in RA, but most of these studies were restricted to two cosegregating...
