Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Our understanding of the genetic factors underlying juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is growing, but remains incomplete. Recently, a number of novel genetic loci were reported to be associated with JIA at (or near) genome-wide significance in a large case-control discovery sample using the Immunochip genotyping array. However, independent replication of findings has yet to be performed. We...
