| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease, with multiple genetic and environmental factors involved in its etiology. The toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) gene has been reported to have important roles in the development and progression of SLE. In this case-control study, the effect of TLR9 polymorphism on susceptibility to SLE was investigated in Egyptian patients. METHODS: We studied the distribution of the TLR9 rs352139 (G + 1174A) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 104 Egyptian patients with SLE and 108 age-, sex-, and ethnically matched controls. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of the AA genotype and alleles between SLE patients and the control group in our study; however, the GA heterozygous patients were three times more likely to develop SLE (P < 0.001). A significant association was detected between TLR9 genotypes and some of the disease manifestations as myositis (p = 0.032), psychosis (p = 0.014), photosensitivity (p = 0.002), and pleurisy (p = <0.001). Moreover, we observed a significant association between the TLR9 AA and GA genotypes and the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) (p = 0.038). CONCLUSION: The G + 1174A SNP in the toll receptor 9 gene may contribute to the genetic susceptibility of SLE in Egyptian patients. Also, an influence for this polymorphism on disease manifestations has been elucidated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
