      Ferreiro-Iglesias, Aida; Calaza, Manuel; Pérez-Pampin, Eva; López-Longo, J.; Marenco, José L.; Blanco García, Francisco J; Narváez, Javier; Navarro, Federico; Cañete, Juan D.; Rodríguez de la Serna, Arturo; González-Álvaro, Isidoro; Herrero-Beaumont, Gabriel; Pablos, José L.; Balsa, Alejandro; Fernández-Gutiérrez, Benjamín; Cáliz, Rafael; Gómez-Reino, Juan J.; González, Antonio (BioMed Central, 2014-09-27)
      [Abstract] INTRODUCTION: Approximately 100 loci have been definitively associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility. However, they explain only a fraction of RA heritability. Interactions between polymorphisms ...

    • Meta-analysis of erosive hand osteoarthritis identifies four common variants that associate with relatively large effect 

      Styrkarsdottir, Unnur; Stefansdottir, Lilja; Thorleifsson, Gudmar; Stefansson, Olafur A.; Saevarsdottir, Saedis; Lund, Sigrun H.; Rafnar, Thorunn; Hoshijima, Kazuyuki; Novak, Kendra; Oreiro, Natividad; Rego-Pérez, Ignacio; Hansen, Channing; Kazmers, Nikolas; Kiemeney, Lambertus A.; Blanco García, Francisco J; Barker, Tyler; Kloppenburg, Margreet; Jurynec, Michel J.; Gudbjartsson, Daniel F.; Jonsson, Helgi; Thorsteinsdottir, Unnur; Stefansson, Kari (BMJ, 2023-03-17)
      [Abstract] Objectives: Erosive hand osteoarthritis (EHOA) is a severe subset of hand osteoarthritis (OA). It is unclear if EHOA is genetically different from other forms of OA. Sequence variants at ten loci have been ...
