Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-2RA (rs2104286) and IL-2RB (rs743777 and rs3218253) genes on the risk of erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. METHODS: This work is derived from 2 prospective cohorts of early RA: ESPOIR (n = 439) and RMP (n = 180). The proportions of patients with erosions at baseline and 1 year according to the genotypes of IL2RA...
