Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that arises as a result of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. A growing body of research suggests that genetic variants within immune-related genes can influence the risk of developing the disease and affect drug response. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To test this hypothesis, we carried out a comprehensive two-stage...
