## Abstract ## Objective A recent study of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) showed an association with a functional singleβnucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping to the promoter region of the __MHC2TA__ gene on chromosome 16p13 in a Swedish population. Interestingly, evidence for linkage to this region ha
## Abstract ## Objective Recent studies of 2 complex diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Crohn's disease (CD), showed associations with genes mapping to the cytokine gene cluster on 5q31. In particular, a functional singleβnucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping to intron 1 of the organic cation
## Abstract ## Objective Variants in genes encoding the Fc receptorβlike 3 (FcRLβ3) and the class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) transactivator proteins have been associated with an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Japanese and Nordic populations, respectively. The aim of
Objective. To analyze HLA-DR4 alleles in New Zealand Polynesians with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. Thirty Polynesians and 30 Caucasians with RA, as well as 65 Polynesian and 60 Caucasian healthy blood donors, were DR4 subtyped using the polymerase chain reaction and sequence-specific oligonu
