Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study was performed to evaluate the potential association of TNFAIP3 polymorphisms with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease in a Chinese Han population. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs10499194, rs610604, rs7753873, rs5029928 and rs9494885 of TNFAIP3 were genotyped in 834 VKH disease patients and 1415 healthy controls using a PCR-restriction fragment...
