Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Our aims were to evaluate protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene polymorphisms in ulcerative colitis (UC) and explore PTPN22 mRNA levels in colonic biopsies of UC patients in central China. METHODS: A total of 165 Chinese UC patients and 300 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. PTPN22 -1123G/C, +1858C/T, and +788G/A polymorphisms were genotyped by PCR-restriction fragment...
