| Abstract | CD28 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) are two receptors that have complementary functions in control of T-cell activation. Polymorphisms of their genes, CD28 and CTLA4, might confer differential susceptibility to diseases resulting from unbalanced or inefficient immune responses. Thus far, little is known about the CD28 polymorphism in populations and even for CTLA4 just one or two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are usually analysed. To assess the allelic and haplotypic diversity and linkage disequilibrium in the Brazilian population, two samples differing according to predominant ancestry - African or European - have been analysed for seven SNPs, CD28 -372(G>A), and int3 17(T>C); CTLA4 -1722(T>C), -1577(G>A) -318(C>T), 49(A>G), 6230(G>A) also named CT60, and three microsatellites, CD28 (CAA)n, CTLA4 (AT)n and D2S72 (CA)n. The two population strata show little differentiation, the only significant differences being the allele frequencies of the CTLA4 -1577(G>A) SNP and the CTLA4 (AT)n microsatellite (P = 0.018 and P = 0.007, respectively). Linkage disequilibrium is high, especially between the CTLA4 polymorphisms. However, low r(2) values indicate that none of the markers is a tag SNP in these populations. These results provide valuable information for optimal selection of markers for use in future association studies. We conclude that disease association studies and functional studies addressing the possible consequences of polymorphisms of the 2q33 genomic region should consider haplotypic data besides analysis of individual polymorphisms. |

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.
