Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune systemic disease and in its pathogenesis participate several proinflammatory cytokines, including those produced by Th17 cells. We performed a systematic review aiming to assess the associations between polymorphisms in Th17 cytokines, namely IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21 and IL-22, and susceptibility to RA.
Methods: We searched three electronic databases (MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science) for observational studies assessing the association between susceptibility to RA (or its clinical presentation) and polymorphisms of the cytokines IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21 and IL-22.
