In this study, the association between five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CTLA4 gene and RA was investigated. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> The study group included 200 patients with RA and 184 healthy individuals from the Iranian population as a control group. Results: After PCR and genotyping, 4 of the 5 SNPs studied showed a significant association with RA. Also, an association between specific haplotypes with RA was determined. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Based on the results, it can be said that some SNPs of the CTLA4 gene may serve as genetic markers for predicting RA susceptibility or progression and using personalized treatment, lead to improved outcomes among patients with RA.</p>","PeriodicalId":12603,"journal":{"name":"Genetic testing and molecular biomarkers","volume":" ","pages":"166-171"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144150163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
