Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease, and understanding its genetic and molecular basis is crucial for early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Objective: This study aims to explore the association between polymorphisms (rs2227284, rs2243267, rs2243270, and rs2243283) and RA risk.

Methods: The four polymorphisms were genotyped in 493 RA patients and 493 healthy controls using Agena MassARRAY.

Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most widespread and fatal pulmonary complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Existing knowledge on the prevalence and risk factors of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is inconclusive. Therefore, we designed this review to address this gap.

Machine learning (ML) algorithms can handle complex genomic data and identify predictive patterns that may not be apparent through traditional statistical methods. They become popular tools for medical applications including prediction, diagnosis or treatment of complex diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune disease in which genetic factors play a major role.

Article Synopsis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is linked to high levels of special proteins called autoantibodies that can start the disease.
  • Scientists found that some of these autoantibodies can actually help protect mice from arthritis instead of causing it.
  • They also discovered that healthy people have special immune cells that decrease in number in RA patients, which might help explain how the disease develops.

Purpose Of Review: RA is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies among which rheumatoid factors (RFs) and antimodified protein antibodies (AMPA) are serological hallmarks of the disease. In recent years, several novel insights into the biology, immunogenetics and clinical relevance of these autoantibodies have been obtained, which deserve to be discussed in more detail.

Recent Findings: RFs from RA patients seem to target distinct epitopes which appear to be quite specific for RA.
