Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic architecture of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are still unclear. Although RA and OA have quite different causes, they share synovial inflammation, risk factors, and some disease-associated genes, including the integrin subunit β2 (ITGB2)/CD18 gene involved in extracellular matrix interactions and immune cell signaling. However, the functional role of ITGB2 genetic...
