Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are influenced by genetic variants in immune system HLA genes. The Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex Transactivator (CIITA) is an important co-activator of the HLA transcriptional complex; the single nucleotide variant (SNV) rs3087456 localized in the gene promoter region (-168 A/G) has been reported as able to modify its transcription...
