Impacts of rs7528684 (−169T/C) on FCRL3, FOXP3, and IL-35 gene expressions and IgG-RF correlation: insights into the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis
Our findings validate that the C/C genotype of the <i>FCRL3</i> SNP rs7528684 is strongly associated with RA in the Indian ethnicity. This genotype is characterised by positive IgG-RF and upregulated <i>FCRL3</i> and downregulated <i>FOXP3</i> and <i>IL-35</i> as key anti-inflammatory cytokines. Concurrently, <i>FCRL3</i> and <i>FOXP3</i> mRNA expression levels are inversely correlated.
