Abstract excerpt
CTLA-4 expression/function can be affected by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CTLA-4 gene, which have been widely associated with susceptibility or progression to autoimmune diseases and cancer development. In this study, we analyzed six CTLA-4 SNPs (-1661A>G, -1577G>A, -658C>T, -319C>T, +49A>G, CT60G>A) in 197 DNA samples from 43 B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCLs), 40 systemic sclerosis (SSc)...
