T-cell receptor-major histocompatibility complex genetic interactions in rheumatoid arthritis
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex multifactorial illness. It is proposed that multiple genes involved in immune recognition interact to produce a state of genetic susceptibility for RA. The role of HLA and T-cell receptor and other background genes is discussed, with an emphasis on their role in shaping the T-cell repertoire.
