TL;DR: In this multinational sample of rheumatoid arthritis patients, variability among countries was wide, not only in prevalence but also in compliance with recommendations for preventing and managing these comorbidities.

TL;DR: Two new composite measures to assess disease activity in PsA have been developed by multiple linear regression and empirically, utilising physician-defined cut-offs for disease activity, and area under the receiver operating curves (AUC) were generally smaller.

TL;DR: Assessment of SNPs covering the CFH-CFHRs region suggested that the CFHR3-1Δ deletion within the SLE-associated block, but not the previously described exonic SNPs of CFH, might contribute to the development of SLE in EA, AA, and AS, providing new insights into the role of complement regulators.

TL;DR: The results of this study increase the number of confirmed SLE risk loci and identify others warranting further investigation, as well as identifying several genes relevant to immunological pathways showed association with SLE.

TL;DR: Contributions of both IRAK1 and MECP2 to SLE susceptibility are suggested, with multiple SNPs showed strong association with SLE in European Americans, Asians and Hispanics at p<5×10−8 with consistent association in subjects with African ancestry.
