## Abstract ## Objective Anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibodies are rheumatoid arthritis (RA)–specific serologic markers. RA susceptibility has been associated with HLA–DRB1 shared epitope (SE) alleles and single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) haplotypes in the peptidyl arginine de
## Abstract ## Objective Recent data have shown that the most prominent and longest known genetic risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), HLA–DRB1 shared epitope alleles, are only associated with RA that is characterized by the presence of antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐
