Abstract excerpt
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation and progressive joint destruction. Genetic factors play a key role in its pathogenesis and may also influence therapeutic response. This study aimed to investigate the association of the STAT4 rs7574865-T and PTPRC rs10919563-A polymorphisms with RA susceptibility and response to TNF inhibitor (TNFi)...
