Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the association between 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in six genes (IRF8, TMEM39A, IKZF3, ORMDL3, GSDMB, and ZPBP2) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a Chinese Han population sample. METHODS: We carried out a case-control study of 415 patients with SLE and 470 healthy controls without autoimmune disease or cancer. DNA for genetic analysis was isolated...
