Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune liver disease and cirrhosis is sometimes complicated with AIH at diagnosis, influencing its prognosis. TNFAIP3 gene encodes A20, an inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB pathway, and is a susceptibility gene for autoimmune diseases. We investigated deleterious variants in the coding regions of TNFAIP3 gene of Japanese AIH patients or those with cirrhosis. The deleterious variants in the coding regions of TNFAIP3 gene were analyzed by the cycle sequencing meth ...[more]
