The ZNF76 rs10947540 polymorphism associated with systemic lupus erythematosus risk in Chinese populations
Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a typical autoimmune disease with a strong genetic disposition. Genetic studies have revealed that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in zinc finger protein (ZNF)-coding genes are associated with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, including SLE....
