Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In these studies, we examined the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IL1RN gene with radiographic severity of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (SKOA) and the risk of incident OA. We also explored these genetic polymorphisms in patients with new onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Over 1000 subjects who met American College of Rheumatology criteria for tibiofemoral OA were...
