Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is an often severe, potentially life-threatening childhood inflammatory disease, the pathophysiology of which poorly understood. To determine whether genetic variation within MHC locus on chromosome 6 influences sJIA susceptibility, we performed association study 982 children with and 8,010 healthy control subjects from nine countries. Using meta-analysis directly observed imputed SNP genotypes classic HLA types, identified as a bona fide...

Systemic JIA (sJIA) rare form characterised systemic inflammation. sJIA distinguished from other forms unique clinical features and treatment responses that are similar to autoinflammatory diseases. However, approximately half children with develop destructive, long-standing appears JIA. Using genomic approaches, we sought gain novel...
