Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the impact of seven polymorphisms in genes of folate transport and (de)glutamation pathway on methotrexate polyglutamate levels and response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This prospective study included patients with rheumatoid arthritis. They were treated with methotrexate (up to 25 mg per week) for 24 weeks and categorized by EULAR response criteria into responders (good and...
