It has repeatedly been suggested that the development of complex diseases can be elucidated by gene-gene interactions. Recently, we found that HTR2A, a member of the serotonin receptor family, is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study was aimed to investigate the possibility of a gene-gene interaction between HTR2A and the major genetic risk factor for RA, HLA-DRB1 shared epitope (SE) alleles. We...
