Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recent genome-wide association studies have revealed numerous genetic associations between specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. The current challenge is to identify associations of the genetic variants with effector mechanisms implicated in pathogenesis. This study was undertaken to investigate the link between genetic variation at loci associated...
