Inheritance of a coding variant of the protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene is associated with increased susceptibility to autoimmunity and infection. Efforts to elucidate the mechanisms by which the PTPN22-C1858T …
PTPN22 is currently one of the few known shared-autoimmunity genes and is therefore a candidate marker for endometriosis. Our data show that female carriers of the PTPN22( *)T variant are significantly more susceptible to endometriosis than…
