Abstract excerpt
In this meta-analysis, we investigated the association between CTLA-4 polymorphisms (CT60A/G, -1722T/C, -1661G/A, and -318C/T) and SLE susceptibility. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated in fixed or random effects models. Seventeen studies involving of 3931 cases and 4619 controls were identified. Significant association of...
