Abstract:Methotrexate (MTX) is the first-line therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. Nevertheless, MTX resistance is quite a common issue in clinical practice. There are some premises that aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) gene battery may take part in MTX metabolism. In the present retrospective study, we analyzed genes expression of AHR genes battery associated with MTX metabolism in whole blood of RA patients with good and poor response to MTX treatment. Additionally, sequencing, genotyping and bioinformatics analysis of A… Show more
