A Combined Large Scale Meta-Analysis Identifies COG6 As a Novel Shared Risk Locus for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: One of the main limitations of the association studies in autoimmunity is the difficulty in identifying genetic risk variants with modest effects, given the…Abstract Number: 1593 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Baricitinib for Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background/Purpose: Baricitinib is a small molecule inhibitor of the Janus kinase (JAK) pathways that reduce and modulate the production of inflammatory mediators and cytokines. We…Abstract Number: 1780 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Pulmonary Disease in Late Versus Early Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background/Purpose: Phenotypes often differ in late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) compared to SLE features in early-onset patients. Prior studies have suggested that there may be…Abstract Number: 1796 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
