The intrafamilial transmission of rheumatoid arthritis. 8. Summary of findings.
A SAMPLING of 49 family clusters consisting of a key person with arthritis, his (her) spouse, a sibling and the sibling’s spouse, 2 cousins, and an unrelated individual were interviewed three times with regard to their arthritis and a variety of social and psychological factors.
