Review Meta Analysis
Associations between the p53 codon 72 polymorphisms and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis.
The aim of this study was to determine whether the p53 codon 72 polymorphism confers susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ⋯ This meta-analysis demonstrates that the p53 codon 72 polymorphism may confer susceptibility to SLE in Asians, but not in Europeans.
