“…Disease severity can differ considerably between cohorts. When the polymorphism of a target gene is related to disease severity rather than susceptibility, the false-positive results in association studies could be caused by selection bias of recruiting patients with more severe disease [44]. The present study links SNPs of the FCRL3 gene with disease severity, implying that the conflicting results of previous genetic association studies of FCRL3 SNPs might have resulted, at least partially, from the difference in disease severity of RA between study populations.…”

“…Although this study focused on East Asian populations, it is important to ascertain whether PADI4 SNPs confer RA risk in a race-specific manner. In white populations, previous association studies have produced inconsistent results (Barton et al 2005a;Harney et al 2005;Martinez et al 2005;Plenge et al 2005;Hoppe et al 2006). However, recent ethnicity-specific meta-analyses have suggested that the padi4_94 SNP may be associated with increased risk of RA in Europeans, although the magnitude of association seemed to be much smaller than that in Asians, and further analysis with a much larger sample size is therefore needed to draw a conclusion (Iwamoto et al 2006;Lee et al 2007).…”

“…Further analyses revealed the susceptible haplotype marked by disease-associated SNPs to be functional, affecting the stability of PADI4 mRNA, and its frequency was associated with the development of anti-CCP antibody-positive RA. The genetic association between PADI4 and RA was replicated in another Japanese group ) and in a Korean population , although many studies of Caucasian subjects yielded conflicting findings (Barton et al 2005a;Harney et al 2005;Martinez et al 2005;Plenge et al 2005;Hoppe et al 2006). Recent meta-analyses of PADI4 SNPs, however, hinted at an association in European RA patients (Iwamoto et al 2006;Lee et al 2007).…”

“…Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic autoimmune disease of unknown aetiology where combinations of genetic and environmental factors have been shown to be relevant contributory factors to the expression and complications of the disease [1][2][3][4][5][6]. A number of genes (HLA-DRB1, TRAF1/C5, STAT4, REL, PTPN22, TNF , IL2/ IL21, CTLA4, TNFRII, VDR, etc.)…”
