Abstract:
In order to identify new susceptibility markers for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), we analysed the dinucleotide repeat polymorphism at the T cell receptor delta locus (TCRD) in 65 RA patients and 99 healthy Belgian controls. A significant under-representation of the A4-A5 TCRD genotype was observed in the RA population.
