Meta Analysis
Associations between interleukin 1 polymorphisms and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus: a meta-analysis.
This study determined whether interleukin 1 (IL1) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). ⋯ This meta-analysis suggests IL1A -889 C/T polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to SLE in Europeans, and that the IL1RN*2 allele is associated with susceptibility to SLE in Europeans and Asians.
