Nearly 110 susceptibility loci for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been identified in population-
based genetic association studies; however, these variants account for only a small …

Objectives Nearly 110 susceptibility loci for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with modest effect sizes
have been identified by population-based genetic association studies, suggesting a large …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex disease, meaning that multiple genetic variants,
environmental factors and random events interact to trigger pathological pathways. Although …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune inflammatory disease of the joints and
is caused by both genetic and environmental factors. In the past six years, genome-wide …

Objective Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) and their subsequent meta‐analyses
have changed the landscape of genetics in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by uncovering several …

Objective To investigate differences in genetic risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in
Han Chinese as compared with Europeans. Methods A genome‐wide association study was …

To identify new genetic risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis, we conducted a genome-wide
association study meta-analysis of 5,539 autoantibody-positive individuals with rheumatoid …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been used to great effect to identify
genetic susceptibility loci for complex disease. A series of GWAS and meta-analyses have …
