Open Access Abstract The protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 PTPN22 gene encodes for lymphoid tyrosine phosphatase LYP involved in the negative regulation of early T-cell activation. An association has recently been reported between the PTPN22-620W functional allele and rheumatoid factor-positive RF rheumatoid arthritis RA among other autoimmune diseases. Expected linkage proof for consistency cannot be definitely produced by an affected sib-pair ASP analysis. Our aim was therefore to search for linkage evidence with the transmission .
