Abstract excerpt
In this meta-analysis of the association between PTPN22 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus, 4 case-control studies, including one from China, were included. The studies included 1864 participants: 772 cases and 1092 controls. The meta-analysis showed that the 1858C/T polymorphism of the PTPN22 gene is correlated with systemic lupus erythematosus susceptibility, when assessed by...
