New research on arthritis from Catholic University summarized.
In this recently published study, investigators in Rome, Italy conducted a study "To investigate the role of the HS1,2 enhancer polymorphisms as a new candidate marker for rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) and to define the possible association with autoantibody positivity and clinical outcome. Genomic DNA was obtained from two cohorts of patients with RA ( 100 with early RA ( ERA) and 114 with longstanding RA (LSRA)) and from 248 gender-matched controls from the same geographical area."
"Clinical and immunological characteristics were recorded for all the patients. The percentage of the 2/2 genotype was higher in patients with ERA (27.0%), and in patients with LSRA (34.2%), than in controls (14.9%) (ERA: OR = 2.11 (95% CI 1.20 to 3.70) vs controls; LSRA: OR = 2.96 ( 95% CI 1.76 to 5.00) vs controls). A lower representation of allele *3 was present in patients with ERA (2.0%) than in controls (6.0%; OR = 0.32 ( 95% CI 0.11 to 0.91)). No significant associations were found between polymorphisms and autoantibodies positivity," wrote B. Tolusso and colleagues, ...
