PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We assess the implications of recent advances in the genetics of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) for the evolving understanding of inflammatory arthritis in children. RECENT FINDINGS: JIA exhibits prominent genetic associations with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region, extending perhaps surprisingly even to the hyperinflammatory systemic JIA category. Some HLA associations resemble...
