FCRL3 gene polymorphisms as risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic systemic autoimmune disease. As a member of FCRLs clusters, Fc receptor-like 3 (FCRL3) has been recognized as a neoteric autoimmune activation factor for RA. The aim of our study is to evaluate the correlation between four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on FCRL3 and RA risk in a Chinese Han population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The hospital-based...
