Low-frequency and rare variants have capacity to explain the "missing heritability" in RA and improve its diagnosis and treatment. See our Nature Review that was just released: https://t.co/2UANXAjHce #mayoclinicrheumatology@jeffsparks
Watch my video discussion of #ACR21 abstract 564 from @KronzerMD@jeffsparks on the association of upper airways disease with incident RA. https://t.co/Nkg9Yl9yYT @RheumNow
@KronzerMD@jeffsparks on association of respiratory diseases with incident RA. Upper airway diseases (sinusitis, pharyngitis) seem to associate even more strongly than asthma/COPD. Abstr#564 #ACR21@RheumNow
On the topic of lung disease and RA, pleased to share our publication on respiratory tract diseases as risk factors for incident RA. Led by @KronzerMD https://t.co/C3dXoIPc7i
In @jrheum: Dr. Losina collaborated on this paper with @KronzerMD and @jeffsparks. They found an association between acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis, and asthma with an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis. @BrighamResearch. Read more here: https://t.co/OMR3Nun7ZM
First population based study of #dermatomyositis using the new criteria at finds that incidence and prevalence is higher than reported, and mortality over three times expected. Read more here: https://t.co/CgAIO3ln0w #mayoclinicrheumatology
