Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variations of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway genes could influence the imbalanced immune response to xenobiotics. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the polymorphism of AHR pathway genes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients in association with smoking. METHODS: Genomic DNA from patients (N = 107) and controls (N = 105) of a population from northeast of Iran was used for...
