Abstract excerpt
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a complex rheumatic disease that is influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Linkage and genome-wide association studies have identified genes that contribute to the risk of developing juvenile idiopathic arthritis but are limited in their ability to identify disease-risk variants of large effect. Penetrant, heritable risk variants can be detected in high-risk families,...
