The association between the <i>HLA-DRB1</i> shared epitope alleles and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis is influenced by massive gene-gene interactions

2017-11-17

Abstract excerpt

In anti-citrullinated protein antibody positive rheumatoid arthritis (ACPA-positive RA), a particular subset of HLA-DRB1 alleles, called shared epitope alleles (SE), is the highest genetic risk factor. Here, we aimed to investigate whether gene-gene interactions influence this HLA-DRB1 related major disease risk; specifically, we set out to test if non-HLA SNPs, conferring low diseases risk on their own, can mod...
