Genetic influences on rheumatoid arthritis in African Americans.

Immunologic research - 1 Jan 2002

Hughes Laura B, Moreland Larry W, Bridges S Louis

Abstract excerpt

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the synovial membrane of diarthrodial joints, which often leads to joint damage and disability. There are known associations between major histocompatibility complex class II alleles and susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis and its severity in Caucasians. African Americans, an admixed population in the United States, has been...
