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

A retrospective study of the relationship between serum urate level and recurrent attacks of gouty arthritis: Evidence for reduction of recurrent gouty arthritis with antihyperuricemic therapy

TL;DR: The data indicate that reduction of serum urate concentrations to 6 mg/dl or lower will eventually result in a reduced frequency or prevention of future gouty attacks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Disease Activity Score (DAS)28- erythrocyte sedimentation rate and DAS28- C-reactive protein threshold values

TL;DR: This study showed that DAS28-CRP and Das28-ESR were well correlated, but the threshold values should be reconsidered, as the results were derived from only Japanese patients, and it is essential to compare DAS 28- CRP threshold values in people of other ethnic groups.
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.
