Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Both susceptibility to, and severity of, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with the rs26232 C allele. Our primary aim was to identify the biologic mechanism underlying this association. METHODS: Expression of surrounding genes was compared among rs26232 genotypes. Publicly available databases were used to correlate expression with RA inflammation and single-cell synovial distribution. Inhibition...
