Lack of association between rare mutations of the SIAE gene and rheumatoid arthritis in a Han Chinese population

D. D. Zhang, He, F., Liu, H. T., Hao, F., and Zhu, J., Lack of association between rare mutations of the SIAE gene and rheumatoid arthritis in a Han Chinese population, vol. 14, pp. 14162-14168, 2015.

The function of rare genotypes encoding defective variants of sialic acid acetylesterase (SIAE) in some autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is ambiguous. We determined whether mutations in the SIAE gene are responsible for RA in a Han Chinese population.DNA was prepared from the venous leukocytes of 444 RA patients and 647 normal controls. The coding regions and adjacent intron sequences of SIAE were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. The products were then subjected to sequencing analysis.
