Genome-wide Association of Rheumatoid Arthritis in the African Ancestry Identifies HLA Amino Acid Polymorphisms of Risk. Presented at ACR Convergence 2024, Washington DC
Background/Purpose: The association between RA and the MHC is largely explained by five amino acid (AA) positions: DRB1 positions 11, 13, 71, and 74, HLA-B position 9, and DPB1 position 9. However, these prior studies are from populations genetically...
