Are hLA-G 3 ' untranslated region polymorphisms associated with systemic lupus erythematosus in 2 Brazilian populations?
These results indicate that HLA-G 3'UTR polymorphic sites, particularly +3142G and +3010C alleles, were associated with SLE susceptibility, whereas UTR-1 was associated with protection against development of SLE.
May be limited by inexperienced endoscopist's lack of injection and polypectomy skills. The technical difficulty in objective measurements of in vivo size and lack of blinded observations with a control group present the potential for observer bias.
