Abstract excerpt
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by immune dysregulation, in which genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures promote persistent synovitis, progressive joint damage, and systemic comorbidities. Recent epigenomic studies show several recurring abnormalities. Many RA susceptibility variants lie outside protein-coding sequence and map to immune-cell and synovial fibroblast...
