Investigating the viability of genetic screening/testing for RA susceptibility using combinations of five confirmed risk loci.

OBJECTIVE: Five loci-the shared epitope (SE) of HLA--DRB1, the PTPN22 gene, a locus on 6q23, the STAT4 gene and a locus mapping to the TRAF1/C5 genetic region--have now been unequivocally confirmed as conferring susceptibility to RA. The largest single effect is conferred by SE. We hypothesized that...
