Abstract excerpt
A number of polymorphisms in immune-regulatory genes have been identified as risk factors for the development of autoimmune disease. PTPN22 (that encodes a tyrosine phosphatase) has been associated with the development of several autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. PTPN22 regulates the activity and effector functions of multiple important immune...
