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 …

Psoriasis is a common immune-mediated disorder that affects the skin, nails and joints. To
identify psoriasis susceptibility loci, we genotyped 438,670 SNPs in 1,409 psoriasis cases …

We performed a multitiered, case-control association study of psoriasis in three independent
sample sets of white North American individuals (1,446 cases and 1,432 controls) with …

We genotyped 525 independent North American white individuals with systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE) for the PTPN22 R620W polymorphism and compared the results with data …

Autoimmune disorders constitute a diverse group of phenotypes with overlapping features
and a tendency toward familial aggregation. It is likely that common underlying genes are …

To identify rheumatoid arthritis risk loci in European populations, we conducted a meta-analysis
of two published genome-wide association (GWA) studies totaling 3,393 cases and …

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 …

We conducted a genome-wide association study of rheumatoid arthritis in 2,418 cases and
4,504 controls from North America and identified an association at the REL locus, encoding c-…
