Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Little is known about the mechanisms of efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) in childhood arthritis, or genetic influences upon response to MTX. The aims of this study were to use gene expression profiling to identify novel pathways/genes altered by MTX and then investigate these genes for genotype associations with response to MTX treatment. METHODS: Gene expression profiling before and after MTX treatment...
