Autoimmune hepatitis may fail to respond to corticosteroid therapy, but the frequency and bases for this outcome are uncertain. We aimed to determine the frequency and nature of treatment failure in patients with type 1 autoimmune hepatitis, define features associated with its occurrence, and assess
Alterations of the HER-2 (erbB-2/neu) proto-oncogene have been associated with carcinogenesis and poor prognosis of certain cancers. A single nucleotide polymorphism (Ile/Val, A/G) in the transmembrane domain was reported to be associated with a risk of breast cancer. In our study, we examined the a
## Abstract ## Objective To assess whether the association of genetic polymorphisms with osteoarthritis (OA) in other populations could be replicated in a large, multicenter, mixedβsex, caseβcontrol study of clinical knee OA. ## Methods Genetic polymorphisms in OA candidate genes were genotyped
