Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The genetic predisposition for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is only partly explained by the HLA locus and most genetic factors involved in the susceptibility (and/or severity) of the disease await further identification. The first European genome scan in RA families provided suggestive evidence for linkage with a region (3.1/3q13) on chromosome 3, but many other potential RA susceptibility genes have yet...
