Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Though the risk of protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor 22 (PTPN22) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) genetic variants with uveitis have been developed, the combined results still remain uncertain and controversial. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to estimate the precise association of PTPN22 (rs2488457 and rs2476601) and CTLA-4 (rs231775, rs5742909,...
