Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The roles of interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17F in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been previously studied. However, the relationships between polymorphisms (IL-17A G197A, the IL-17F 7488A/G, and the IL-17F 7383A/G) of these genes with RA have not been clarified yet. AIMS: To investigate the impacts of these polymorphisms on the severity and susceptibility of RA in a Turkish...
