Investigating the genetic basis of susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract excerpt

The challenges in identifying genetic polymorphisms that influence the susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis are the same as those faced in most complex diseases; genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, an unknown number of loci presumed to have small genetic effects, non-genetic modifying effects that have yet to be fully characterised and a history of unconfirmed genetic associations. Despite the difficulties,...
