Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the SPARC gene associated with susceptibility to scleroderma?
Answer: SNPs in the SPARC gene are not associated with susceptibility to scleroderma. This research adds to the genetic knowledge of the SPARC gene by identifying five novel SNPs spanning the whole gene and inserting these within the context of clearly defined haplotypes.
Output (English): no
