Article Synopsis
  • * The study explored genetic factors related to FS susceptibility by analyzing eleven gene polymorphisms in patients and controls, revealing certain haplotypes linked to decreased risk and one haplotype associated with increased susceptibility.
  • * Additionally, levels of soluble complement receptor 1 (sCR1) were measured, showing that lower levels are present during active disease while those in remission had higher levels, suggesting a potential link between s

The leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1 (LAIR-1) is a collagen-binding inhibitory receptor important for the regulation of immune responses, expressed on the majority of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). LAIR-2 is a soluble homolog that antagonizes LAIR-1 inhibitory function by binding the same ligands. We sought to investigate whether LAIR1 and LAIR2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are associated with differential mRNA expression levels.
