Abstract excerpt
The CD40 gene is associated with many autoimmune diseases; however, there are few studies in literatures that investigate the association between CD40 and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). This study aimed to estimate the potential association of CD40 gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to NMOSD. Four SNPs (rs1883832, rs3765459, rs4810485, and rs6074022) were selected and genotyped in a Chinese...
