OBJECTIVE: We investigated the relationship between polymorphisms in the TNF-a-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) gene and genetic susceptibility to SLE and RA in the Korean population. METHODS: The present case control study included 422 patients with RA, 133 patients with SLE and 422 healthy controls. Genotyping for TNFAIP3 gene polymorphisms rs5029941 (C>T), rs2230926 (T>G), rs5029930 (C>A), rs5029937 (G>T) and...
