Exome sequencings were conducted using 59 patients having rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 93 controls. After stepwise filtering, 107 genes showed less than 0.05 of P-values by gene-burden tests. Among 107 genes, NDUFA7 which is a subunit of the complex I in the mitochondrial respiratory chain was selected for further analysis based on previous reports. A case-control study was performed on the three...
