## 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
## Objective: In the era of postgenomic research, linkage- and association-based strategies are beginning to reveal novel complex disease genes. using such an approach, a functional haplotype of the peptidylarginine deiminase 4 gene (padi4) has recently been identified as a gene conferring suscepti
