Haplotype-based Analysis of 6q24-25 for Association with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multisystem inflammatory disorder. Family history of RA is an important risk factor as it is strongly linked with the inherited HLA-DR4 (most specifically DR0401 and 0404). The aim of this study is to conduct the haplotype-based analysis of 6q24-25 and evaluate its association with RA.

Background: Effective healthcare delivery occurs when health professionals collaborate and provide holistic, patient-centred care. Physiotherapists and chiropractors treat a common range of patients with an overlap in their scope of practice and modalities because of typical healthcare roles that could lead to 'perceived' animosity.
