Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Our purpose was to investigate, for the first time, genotypes and alleles distribution of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin 22 (IL-22) (rs1012356 and rs2227485) in Egyptian pediatric and adolescents with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to evaluate the plasma IL-22 levels and their association with gene polymorphism and SLE risk and severity. METHODS: The TaqMan™ SNP...
