Abstract excerpt
Galectin 1 (Gal1) exerts immunomodulatory effects leading to therapeutic effects in autoimmune animal models. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have been reported to show higher Gal1 serum levels than the healthy population. Our study aimed to find genetic variants on the Gal1 gene (LGALS1) modulating its expression and/or clinical features in patients with early arthritis (EA). LGALS1 was sequenced in 53 EA...
