Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of three polymorphisms (14-bpINS/DEL, +3035C/T and +3142C/G) in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of HLA-G gene and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Yunnan. METHODS: A case-control study has been carried out on 206 SLE patients and 212 healthy controls. Genotypes of 14-bpINS/DEL (rs1704), +3035C/T (rs17179108) and +3142C/G (rs1063320) loci of 3'UTR of the HLA-G gene were...
