Association of IL-21 rs2055979 polymorphism with plasma IL-21 levels. Plasma levels of IL-21 were quantified by ELISA in both RA patients (211) and healthy controls (n = 303). The distribution of Plasma IL-21 in the different genotypes of rs2055979 polymorphism revealed higher levels in AA genotype compared to other genotypes (a). A similar observation was noticed in RA patients (b) and healthy controls (c). Data are represented in mean ± SD, and plasma levels of IL-21 in different genotypes were compared with the Kruskal-Wallis test accompanied by Tukey’s post-test. P < 0.05 was deemed to be statistically significant
