Lymphoid tyrosine phosphatase R620W variant and inflammatory bowel disease in Tunisia

AIM:To assess the possible association between PTPN22(R620W) gene polymorphism and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).METHODS:One hundred and sixty-four patients with IBD 105 Crohn's disease(CD) and 59 ulcerative colitis(UC) and 100 healthy controls were recruited.Genotyping of the PTPN22 gene 185...

Description
Summary:AIM:To assess the possible association between PTPN22(R620W) gene polymorphism and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).METHODS:One hundred and sixty-four patients with IBD 105 Crohn's disease(CD) and 59 ulcerative colitis(UC) and 100 healthy controls were recruited.Genotyping of the PTPN22 gene 1858C→T polymorphism was performed by restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction with Rsa Ⅰ digestion.RESULTS:The genotypic and allelic frequencies of(R620W) PTPN22 gene polymorphism reveal a sign...
