Sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (Siglecs) are the best-characterized immunoglobulin-type lectins. There is a growing amount of data linking Siglec and autoimmune diseases. The recently identified Siglec-9 inhibits T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated signaling which has been demonstrated by site-directed mutagenesis. In human Siglec-9, at least 8 nonsynonymous SNPs have been detected without functional studies. This study examined the SNP(s) related to TCR-mediated signaling.
