Genetic Registry for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Genetics of Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry

Many genes are thought to contribute to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Currently only one such gene has been identified. This study will attempt to identify all of the genes that may contribute to RA and determine which specific genetic variations are responsible for the disease.

The identification of genes for complex disorders such as RA requires large numbers of genetically informative families. This study will enroll patients with RA and their families.

This study will enroll 1000 RA patients and their parents. Participants with RA will be evaluated by a study official at his or her doctor's office or other location convenient for the participant. Participants will have a brief interview and physical exam and a blood sample will be obtained. Disease evaluation will be done at one visit and will include a 28 joint count, joint alignment and mobility score (JAMS), administration of a health assessment questionnaire and other related questionnaires. Physician confirmation of diagnosis will also be included in the disease evaluation.
