Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Genetic factors underlying susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Arab populations are largely unknown. This genome-wide association study (GWAS) was undertaken to explore the generalizability of previously reported RA loci to Arab subjects and to discover new Arab-specific genetic loci. METHODS: The Genetics of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Some Arab States Study was designed to examine the genetics...
