Genetically transitional disease: conceptual understanding and applicability to rheumatic disease.

Abstract excerpt

In genomic medicine, the concept of genetically transitional disease (GTD) refers to cases in which gene mutation is necessary but not sufficient to cause disease. In this Perspective, we apply this novel concept to rheumatic diseases, which have been linked to hundreds of genetic variants via association studies. These variants are in the 'grey zone' between monogenic variants with large effect sizes and common...
