Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Certain risk alleles associated with autoantibody-positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been linked to poorer prognoses. In patients with autoantibody-positive RA, abatacept shows differential efficacy to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between clinical response to abatacept and to adalimumab and presence of risk alleles encoding human leukocyte antigen...
