Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Complement component C4 copy number variations are associated with various inflammatory diseases. This study was undertaken to investigate whether copy number variations of C4 are also involved in the pathogenesis of Behçet's disease (BD). METHODS: Gene expression was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Copy number variations of C4...
