Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is caused by prolonged periodic interactions between genetic,
environmental, and immunologic factors. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) such as …

A new age has begun in the genetics of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as genome-wide
association studies scanning the human genome have been put into practical use. Among …

Objectives: To investigate factors that may influence the prevalence and timing of
appearance of rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) …

Objective To examine the association between HLA–DRB1 alleles and the production of anti–
cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) and rheumatoid factor (RF) autoantibodies in patients …

Objective The strongest known genetic association in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is with HLA–
DRB1 alleles that share a similar amino acid sequence, termed the shared epitope (SE) …

This paper analyses some of the epistemological frameworks that underpin diagnosis in
palaeopathology. Currently, the dominant approach is comparative: relationships between …

Background The correlation between dietary inflammation index (DII) and rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) has been found, but the effect of confounding factors is not considered. This …

We conducted a study to determine the prevalence of extraarticular manifestations (ExRA) in
a cohort of predominantly Hispanic and Asian patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), to …

Objective Health outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have improved significantly over the
past 2 decades. However, research suggests that disparities exist by race/ethnicity and …

Results The overall RA prevalence in Poland was 0.9%(95% CI: 0.6–1.2%), 1.06% for
women, 0.74% for men. Seventy-eight percent were female, mean age was 56 and mean …
