Abstract excerpt
The efficacy of conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients was limited. However, there were no predictive markers for poor csDMARDs outcome. Clinical information of RA patients was collected and the high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) polymorphisms (rs4145277, rs2249825, rs1412125 and rs1045411) were examined. Among the 252 patients, 31.0% had no...
