CTLA4 polymorphism and primary Sjögren's syndrome
The March 2007 issue of Arthritis Research and Therapy included a research article by Gottenberg and colleagues [1] that reports a failure to confirm our previous study [2] of a genetic association between CTLA4 and primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Similar to our study, the Gottenberg study analysed both CTLA4 CT60 and +49A/G single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). They observed an association...
متن کاملCTLA-4 polymorphism and primary Sjögren's syndrome: authors' response
We thank Dr Lester and colleagues [1] for their interest in our recent article [2] and for their comments. As underlined by Lester and colleagues [1], replication cohorts are of primary importance in genetic association studies. With regard to primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), however, it is difficult to collect a very large group of patients and our cohort of pSS patients, even though it compr...
متن کاملAssociation of Sjögrens Syndrome in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis Virus Infection: A Population-Based Analysis
OBJECTIVE The association between Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and chronic hepatitis virus infection is inconclusive. Hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are highly prevalent in Taiwan. We used a population-based case-control study to evaluate the associations between SS and HBV and HCV infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 9,629 SS patients without other concomitant...
متن کاملCTLA4 polymorphisms and COPD.
We read with interest the article by ZHU et al. [1] describing the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs231775 and rs3087243) within the CTLA4 gene and chronic bronchitis. Both of these polymorphisms may be risk factors for autoimmunity [2], and are often referred to as A49G and CT60, respectively. As alluded to briefly by the authors in their discussion, there has been r...
متن کاملAn association between the CTLA4 exon 1 polymorphism and early rheumatoid arthritis with autoimmune endocrinopathies.
OBJECTIVE To examine the allelic association of the single nucleotide polymorphism (CTLA4A/G) in exon 1 of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) gene with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS One hundred and twenty-three unrelated white probands with early RA from the north-east of England and 349 local ethnically matched controls were studied. The CTLA4A/G polymorphism was genotyp...
