Meta-analysis of associations between functional HLA-G polymorphisms and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to determine whether the functional HLA-G 14 bp insertion (I)/deletion (D) and +3142 G/C polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between the HLA-G 14 bp I/D, and +3142 G/C polymorphisms and SLE or RA using; (1) allele contrast, (2) the recessive model, (3) the...
