Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) commonly coexist, notably in RA-associated interstitial lung disease. Despite clinical overlap, their shared genetic underpinnings remain poorly understood. METHOD: Using large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from European populations, we assessed genetic correlations between RA and IPF through linkage disequilibrium...
