Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The connection between gene polymorphisms of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is still vague and blurred. The purpose of this study is to precisely estimate the association of the polymorphisms of CTLA4 with the risk of PBC by using a meta-analysis. METHODS: PubMed and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database were...
