Study of the genetics of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) began about four decades ago with the
discovery of HLA-DRB1. Since the beginning of this century, a number of non-HLA risk loci …

Human genetic studies into rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have uncovered more than 100 genetic
loci associated with susceptibility to RA and have refined the RA-association model for HLA …

Objective Susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is likely to involve several genes of weak
effect, and consequently, individual studies may have insufficient power to detect linkage …

Objective A number of non‐HLA loci that have shown evidence (P< 0.05) for linkage with
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been previously identified. The present study attempts to …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly heritable complex disease with unknown etiology. Multi-
ancestry genetic research of RA promises to improve power to detect genetic signals, fine …

The field of genetics and autoimmune diseases is undergoing a rapid and unprecedented
expansion with new genetic findings being reported at an astounding pace. It is now clear …

Background Genetic factors have a substantial role in determining development of
rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and are likely to account for 50–60% of disease susceptibility …

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 …

Objectives To find causal genes for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its seropositive (RF and/or
ACPA positive) and seronegative subsets. Methods We performed a genome-wide …

The extent to which variants in the protein-coding sequence of genes contribute to risk of
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is unknown. In this study, we addressed this issue by deep exon …
