Abstract
We analysed whether the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3087456 in the promoter of the MHC class II transactivator (MHC2TA) gene is associated with manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, narcolepsy and Wegener granulomatosis. The recently reported association in a northern population of the MHC2TA variation with these autoimmune diseases is not evident in the German population. © 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
