Objective. To examine the role of NRAMP1 in susceptibility to juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). Methods. DNA from 119 JRA patients (72 pauciarticular, 47 polyarticular) and 111 healthy controls from Latvia was genotyped for a functional repeat polymorphism in the promoter of NRAMP1 and a linked (
## Abstract ## Objective To investigate __SLC26A2__, the gene that causes diastrophic dysplasia, in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). ## Methods Nine polymorphisms across the __SLC26A2__ gene locus were investigated using MassArray genotyping in 826 UK Caucasian JIA cases and 617 ethnically m
