Abstract excerpt
Programmed death-1 (PD-1, PDCD1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4, CTLA4) play central roles in immune checkpoint pathways. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PDCD1 and CTLA4 have been reported to be associated with susceptibility to some autoimmune diseases. However, the potential association between SNPs in these immune checkpoint genes and risk of chronic immune thrombocytopenia...
