Genetics: a new interpretation of genetic studies in RA

Michel Neidhart et al. Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2014 Apr.

Abstract

Understanding the genetics of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is complex, multiple genes and environmental factors are involved. A new multicentre genetic study summarizes the fundamental gene polymorphisms, pathways and cell types that are related to RA and, based on this analysis, proposes new targets for RA drug treatments.
