IL2RA is associated with persistence of rheumatoid arthritis
INTRODUCTION Although rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is generally a chronic disease, a proportion of RA-patients achieve disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-free sustained remission, reflecting loss of disease-persistence. To explore mechanisms underlying RA-persistence, we performed a candidate gene study. We hypothesized that variants associating with lack of radiographic progression also...
متن کاملA Case of Lipomembranous Panniculitis Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Lipomembranous panniculitis is a special type of fat necrosis which has been associated with several clinical conditions, mainly chronic venous insufficiency and connective tissue disorders such as lupus profundus, morphea, systemic sclerosis, and dermatomyositis .We report a 50 yearold woman with known rheumatoid arthritis who presented with a painful indurated erythematous plaque on her right...
متن کاملCD226 rs763361 (Gly307Ser) Polymorphism Is Associated with Susceptibility to Rheumatoid Arthritis in Zahedan, Southeast Iran
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with many genetic factors predisposing to disease susceptibility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of CD226 rs727088 and rs763361 polymorphisms and susceptibility to RA in a sample of the Iranian population. Methods: This case-control study was carried out on 100 patients with RA and 104 healthy su...
متن کاملIs hypergastrinaemia associated with rheumatoid arthritis?1
In an attempt to confirm the reported high incidence of raised serum gastrin levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), gastrin concentrations were estimated in 54 patients. Only three patients (6%) had basal hypergastrinaemia. The heptadecapeptide (G17) and total carboxylterminal immunoreactive gastrin responses to a standard protein meal were measured by specific radioimmunoassay in t...
متن کاملPADI2 Is Significantly Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Citrullination, a posttranslational modification of peptidyl arginine to citrulline, plays an essential role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Citrullination is catalyzed by a group of peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) including PADI 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. Many studies have indicated that the gene encoding PADI4 is a factor in susceptibility to RA. Some studies have detected PADI2 expression in RA syno...
