Abstract excerpt
The peptidylarginine-deiminase 4 (PADI4) is involved in the post-translational catalytic conversion of arginine into citrulline. The autoantibodies including anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) produced in response to hypercitrullinated proteins are a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) autoimmunity. Therefore, the role of a missense variant rs874881 (Gly112Ala) of PADI4 in RA susceptibility was...
