A Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies SLC8A3 As a Susceptibility Locus for ACPA-Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients with serum anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) have a strong and specific genetic background. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS)…Abstract Number: 2957 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Rheumatoid Arthritis -Risk Locus CCR6 and Its SNP-Dependent Response to Estrogen: A Possible Genomic Link Between Sex Hormones and the IL-17 Inflammatory Pathway
Background/Purpose: The CCR6-CCL20–mediated migration of Th17 cells to inflamed tissues may represent an important mechanism in the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The CCR6 SNP rs3093023…Abstract Number: 2958 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Polygenic Analysis of Transport, Metabolism and Immune Related Genomic Compartments in Serum Urate and Gout
Background/Purpose: Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified loci associated with complex traits, and the current challenge is to glean biological insights from these findings.…Abstract Number: 525 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Genetic Basis of Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS) Clinical Manifestations from Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Subphenotype Extremes in an International Cohort
Background/Purpose Our goal is to define the contribution of genetic factors to two hallmark manifestations of SS, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) and focal lymphocytic sialadenitis (FLS),…Abstract Number: 1872 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Gene-Body Mass Index Interactions Are Associated With Methotrexate Toxicity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
