abstract：:Genetic factors seem to play a significant role in susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We previously described the amino acid polymorphism (Val14Met) within the IFN-gamma receptor 1 (IFN-gammaRI), and that the frequency of the Metl4 allele in SLE patients was significantly higher than that of the hea...
