Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate interleukin 10 (IL-10) gene promoter polymorphisms in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its clinical subsets. METHODS: DNA from 76 Caucasian patients with SLE and 119 controls as genotyped for 3 defined dimorphic polymorphisms (G or A at position -1082, C or T at position -819, C or A at position -592) in the promoter region of the IL-10 gene, using the polymerase chain reaction to...
