Pharmacogenetics: Anti-TNF therapy in RA--towards personalized medicine?

Cornelis L Verweij. Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2011 Mar.

Results of a large genome-wide association study demonstrate evidence of novel genetic factors that determine response to treatment, which could provide a basis for individualizing therapy.
