New genetic risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis revealed by analysis of multiple ancestry groups

In a large genetic study published in Nature Genetics, RIKEN researchers have identified 124 genetic markers, 34 of which are novel, that can influence the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. This information could help to develop new treatments for the painful and often debilitating condition.
