Abstract excerpt
AIM: About 30% of rheumatoid arthritis patients have no clinical benefit from TNF inhibitors. Genome-wide association (GWA) and candidate gene studies tested several putative genetic variants for TNF inhibitor efficacy with inconclusive results. Therefore, this study applied a systematic pathway analysis. PATIENTS & METHODS: A total of 325 rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with adalimumab were genotyped for...
