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

Molecular aspects of rheumatoid arthritis: chemokines in the joints of patients.

TL;DR: It is known that synovial tissue andsynovial fluid from RA patients contain increased concentrations of several chemokines, such as monocyte chemoattractant protein‐4 (MCP‐4)/CCL13, pulmonary and activation‐regulated chemokine (PARC)/ CCL18, monokine induced by interferon‐γ (Mig)/CXCL9, stromal cell‐derived factor 1 (SDF‐1)/C
