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.

Genome-wide association study meta-analysis identifies seven new rheumatoid arthritis risk loci

Eli A. Stahl, +74 more
- 01 Jun 2010 - 
TL;DR: Seven new rheumatoid arthritis risk alleles were identified at genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10−8) in an analysis of all 41,282 samples, and an additional 11 SNPs replicated at P < 0.05, suggesting that most represent genuine rhearatoid arthritisrisk alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA-146A contributes to abnormal activation of the type I interferon pathway in human lupus by targeting the key signaling proteins.

TL;DR: Investigation of the contribution of microRNA-146a, identified in the pilot expression profiling step, to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus revealed a negative regulator of innate immunity, which provides potential novel strategies for therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants at CD40 and other loci confer risk of rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: To identify rheumatoid arthritis risk loci in European populations, a meta-analysis of two published genome-wide association studies totaling 3,393 cases and 12,462 controls identified a common variant at the CD40 gene locus and identified evidence of association at four additional gene loci.
