Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: An elevated interleukin (IL)-1β response in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has been observed in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), suggesting a role for inflammasomes in the pathogenesis of JIA. We aimed to determine whether genetic polymorphisms of the NLRP3 inflammasome components confer risk for oligoarticular and polyarticular JIA in a Taiwanese population. METHOD: A total...
