Abstract excerpt
Polymorphism in the genes of TH2 cytokines and/or theirs receptors can influence serum cytokine levels in and the switch to the pathologic IgG4 auto-antibodies. In order to underline the role of these genes in the aethiopathogenesis of Pemphigus Foliaceus, we conduct a familial and a case control studies including 80 Tunisian patients, 147 related subjects and 160 matched healthy controls. We investigated, by...
