Considering the role of miR-146a in the development of autoimmune diseases and the role of Ets-1 as a regulator of miR-146a expression, we investigated the association of miR-146a/rs2910164, miR-146a/rs57095329, miR-146a/rs6864584, ets-1/rs1128334 and ets-1/rs10893872 with pediatric uveitis in a Han Chinese population. This evidence concerns the gene ETS1 and autoimmune disease.
