Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To investigate the association of microRNA (miRNA) copy number variants (CNVs) with acute anterior uveitis (AAU) with or without ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to assess underlying disease mechanisms. Methods: This study included 768 patients with AAU+AS+ or AAU+AS- and 660 controls from a Chinese Han population. Genotyping of CNVs was performed by TaqMan PCR. The expression of miRNAs, transfection...
