Statistically significant differences in the neoplasia and the JIA groups were found between the following parameters: neutrophils count, haemoglobin (Hb), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), IgA and C4 subunit of complement (C4) values, antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-early antigen (EA) Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) IgG and anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG titres. Here, GSTM1 is linked to juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
