Abstract excerpt
Notwithstanding the well-established association of HLA-DRB1 shared epitope alleles, interest remains in identifying additional major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region variants associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We used a panel of 1201 haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) designed for African Americans to find genetic variants associated with RA in a 3.8-Mb region encompassing...
