Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PSMB8, PSMB9 and TAP2 genes and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in ethnic Han Chinese from Yunnan. METHODS: A case-control study was carried out using 177 RA patients and 288 healthy controls. Genotypes of rs2071543, rs55745125 and rs138635403 loci of PSMB8 gene, and rs17587 locus of PSMB9 gene were determined with polymerase chain...
