STAT4

A gene on chromosome 17q21.31 that encodes a member of the STAT family of transcription factors, which are phosphorylated by receptor-associated kinases in response to cytokines and growth factors, including IFNs, EGF, IL5, IL6, HGF, LIF and BMP2. The STAT4 protein product mediates responses to IL12 in lymphocytes, and regulates the differentiation of T helper cells.

In our previous study regarding the current advances in the genetic basis of RA, we observed that many studies had investigated the association between RA and the STAT4 gene, and these had confirmed the results across two major ethnic groups.
In this study, we investigated the association betwen the candidate gene STAT4 and RA in a Turkish population for the first time.
However, additional polymorphisms exist in the STAT4 gene that might contribute to the susceptibility or activity of RA.
The obtained data from this study demonstrates that the rs7574865 and rs10181656 polymorphisms in the STAT4 gene are not associated with susceptibility to RA in Turkish population.
