Polymorphisms within the folate pathway predict folate concentrations but are not associated with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis patients on methotrexate
13 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether genetic polymorphisms within the folate pathway are associated with red blood cell (RBC) methotrexate (MTX) polyglutamate concentrations, RBC folate concentrations and MTX efficacy/toxicity. METHODS: Disease activity in 200 rheumatoid arthritis patients on MTX was assessed by swollen and tender joint counts and Disease Activity Score 28. Genetic polymorphisms shown to have an...
