High Titer Rheumatoid Arthritis Antibodies Distinguish Between PAD2 and PAD4 Citrullinated Fibrinogen
Background/Purpose: Most patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) harbor antibodies to citrullinated autoantigens, such as citrullinated fibrinogen. Two isoforms of peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD), PAD2 and PAD4,…Abstract Number: 1612 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of PADI4 and HLA-DRB1 Alleles with Susceptibility to Rheumatoid Arthritis-Related Lung Diseases
Background/Purpose: Lung diseases (LD) are common extra-articular manifestations in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent studies have shown the association of RA-LD with anti-citrullinated protein antibodies. The…Abstract Number: 2922 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of PADI4 Gene with Susceptibility to Rheumatoid Arthritis-Related Lung Disease
Background/Purpose Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes a myriad of pulmonary complications, including bronchiolitis and bronchiectasis, pleuritis, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). Recently, several studies have shown…
