Early rheumatoid arthritis in African-Americans: the CLEAR Registry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
African-Americans have been under-represented in genetic studies of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility and severity. Genetic and non-genetic factors influencing the radiographic severity of RA and its response to treatment are poorly understood, particularly in African-Americans. The Consortium for the Longitudinal Evaluation of African-Americans with early RA (CLEAR) Registry, a collaborative effort among four institutions in the southeast USA, will hopefully provide a useful resource to study these issues.

متن کاملDatabases of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis in the USA.
Several databases of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been established in the USA. The University of Tennessee at Memphis Cohort was organized in 1967-1971 to enroll 50 young adults (16-44 years) with symptom onset of < or = 6 months who met the 1958 American Rheumatism Association (ARA) criteria for at least probable RA. Two important observations from this database were that...

BACKGROUND There is abundant evidence that low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with worse health outcomes among people with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA); however, the influence of socioeconomic disadvantage in early life has yet to be studied within that population. METHODS Data originated from the cross-sectional arm of the Consortium Evaluation of African-Americans with Rheumatoid Art...
متن کاملRacial or ethnic differences in allele frequencies of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene and their influence on response to methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis.
BACKGROUND The anti-folate drug methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. OBJECTIVE To determine the allele frequencies of five common coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene in African-Americans and Caucasians with rheumatoid arthritis and controls to assess whether there are differences in allele frequenc...

INTRODUCTION To determine whether IL4R single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs1805010 (I50V) and rs1801275 (Q551R), which have been associated with disease severity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients of European ancestry, relate to the presence of rheumatoid nodules and radiographic erosions in African Americans. METHODS Two IL4R SNPs, rs1805010 and rs1801275, were genotyped in 749 patie...
