Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A recent high-density fine-mapping (ImmunoChip) study of genetic associations in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) identified 14 risk loci with validated genome-wide significance, as well as a number of loci showing associations suggestive of significance (P = 5 × 10(-5) < 5 × 10(-8)), but these have yet to be replicated. The aim of this study was to determine whether these potentially significant loci are...
