<h4>Objective</h4>The aim of this study was to investigate whether four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CTLA-4 gene are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a Chinese population.<h4>Methods</h4>Samples were collected from a Chinese population and analyzed for the association of SNPs in CTLA-4 gene with COPD in a case-control study. Four SNPs (rs231775, rs3087243, rs231725, rs5742909) in CTLA-4 gene were chosen and genotyped. The results were then analyzed usi ...[more]
