Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Riaz A Misgar"
- Riaz A Misgar's research primarily focuses on the genetic factors associated with autoimmune diseases, particularly Graves' disease, in specific populations such as the Kashmiri ethnic group.
- His findings highlight a significant association of the CTLA4 gene variants with an increased risk of developing Graves' disease, emphasizing the role of immunomodulation in autoimmune disorders.
- In contrast, his other study found no association between the PTPN22 1858 C/T exon polymorphism and Graves' disease in the Kashmiri population, indicating variability in genetic influences on the disease.
