Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship of genetic polymorphisms in IL1β, IL6, TNF-α genes and their receptors genes with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for northwest Han Chinese. This study also explores whether there are gene-gene interactions among these genetic polymorphisms. METHODS: A total of 452 patients with RA and 373 matched healthy controls were enrolled to carry out a case-control study for 16 SNPs of...
