Modifiable environmental exposure and risk of rheumatoid arthritis—current evidence from genetic studies
22 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial chronic autoimmune disease, which involves a complex interplay of environmental triggers and genetic components in its etiology. It has been shown that genetics only explain about half of the liability to develop RA, leaving a large room for non-genetic factors.
