How twin studies help to understand inflammatory joint disease.

Joint bone spine - 1 Dec 2016

Lambert Nathalie C

Abstract excerpt

Inflammatory joint disease (IJD) is a group of conditions that target the joints and periarticular structures. The contribution of genetic factors to these conditions is often less than 50%, suggesting a major role for environmental influences. Twin studies are the best means of assessing the role for genetic factors in IJD. Conclusive evidence has been provided by a few studies in vast samples of monozygotic and...
