We aimed to investigate the association between programmed cell death 1 polymorphism (PD1.3G/A (rs11568821) and PD1.5C/T (rs2227981)) with the risk of SLE in the Egyptian female population.
This study aims to analyze the relationship of programmed cell death 1 (PDCD1) gene polymorphism (PD1.3G/A - rs11568821) with features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a Southern Brazilian population.
This study aimed to test the functional effects of the PD1.3 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs11568821), which were proposed based on its association to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility and in electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) results.
Previous investigations have also demonstrated that an intronic polymorphism (termed PD1.3; SNP ID rs11568821) in the programmed cell death (PDCD1) gene was associated with systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
