Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In a genome-wide association study of Caucasian patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), we have previously described findings limited to autoimmunity loci shared by JIA and other diseases. The present study was undertaken to identify novel JIA-predisposing loci using genome-wide approaches. METHODS: The discovery cohort consisted of Caucasian JIA cases (n = 814) and local controls (n = 658)...
