OBJECTIVE: Excessively suppressed expression of the SLC22A4 gene by RUNX1 is associated with the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Two etiological polymorphisms in the RUNX1 and SLC22A4 genes have been defined in a Japanese population. We studied additional polymorphisms to ascertain whether any SLC22A4/SLC22A5 haplotype is relevant for RA predisposition in a Spanish population. METHOD: We performed a...
