  • Title: Transferrin C subtypes and rheumatoid arthritis.
    Author: Rantapää Dahlqvist S, Beckman L.
    Journal: Hum Hered; 1985; 35(5):279-82. PubMed ID: 4043978.
    Abstract:
    Transferrin C subtypes were studied in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and controls. A significant association was found between the C2 type and RA. This association concerned mainly male patients and patients with a family history of polyarthritis. The results were discussed in relation to previous studies of the role of oxygen free radicals in the pathogenesis of RA and to a recently proposed hypothesis that the TfC2 gene confers an increased risk for cellular damage by hydroxyl radicals.
