Genetics of rheumatoid arthritis contributes to biology and drug discovery

Yukinori Okada, +115 more
- 20 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study meta-analysis in a total of >100,000 subjects of European and Asian ancestries provides empirical evidence that the genetics of RA can provide important information for drug discovery, and sheds light on fundamental genes, pathways and cell types that contribute to RA pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis identifies nine new loci associated with rheumatoid arthritis in the Japanese population

TL;DR: This study identified nine loci newly associated with rheumatoid arthritis at a threshold of P < 5.0 × 10−8, including B3GNT2, ANXA3, CSF2, CD83, NFKBIE, ARID5B, PDE2A-ARAP1, PLD4 and PTPN2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene were associated with both the efficacy and the toxicity of methotrexate used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, as evidenced by single locus and haplotype analyses.

TL;DR: Both single locus and haplotype analyses suggest that polymorphisms within the MTHFR gene are associated with both the efficacy and toxicity of MTX in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum matrix metalloproteinase 3 as a predictor of the degree of joint destruction during the six months after measurement, in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: The serum concentration of MMP-3 is a useful marker for predicting bone damage in the early stage of RA, and the suppression of M MP-3 production may be an effective therapeutic approach for patients with early RA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation of a Japanese version of the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire in 3,763 patients with rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: The final version of the J-HAQ is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring functional status in Japanese-speaking RA patients and shows excellent internal reliability.
