To identify new genetic risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis, we conducted a genome-wide
association study meta-analysis of 5,539 autoantibody-positive individuals with rheumatoid …

The relative osteoconductivity and the change in the mechanical properties of
hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds with multi-scale porosity were compared to scaffolds with a …

Objectives To review the literature in order to estimate how many previously unknown
thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and thoracic aortic dilatations (TADs) might be detected by …

Objective We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of all-cause and
cause-specific mortality of patients with benign endogenous Cushing syndrome (CS) …

Recent evidence suggests a role for natural killer (NK) cells in the control of multiple
myeloma. We show that expression of the NK cell receptor DNAM-1 (CD226) is reduced on …

To discover new rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk loci, we systematically examined 370 SNPs
from 179 independent loci with P< 0.001 in a published meta-analysis of RA genome-wide …

Objective: To determine whether rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide
(CCP) antibodies, or carriage of shared epitope (SE) and PTPN22 genetic susceptibility …

Methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy is a common first treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA),
but many patients do not respond adequately. In order to identify genetic predictors of …

Copy number (CN) variation (CNV) has been shown to be common in regions of the
genome coding for immune-related genes, and thus impacts upon polygenic autoimmunity …

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis and,
despite the larger estimated heritability for PsA, the majority of genetic susceptibility loci …
