The Hereditary Basis of Rheumatic Diseases (Progress in Inflammation Research)

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) represents a complex disease where the inheritable component has been estimated to be up to 60 per cent. This volume deals with the genetic basis and regulation of rheumatic diseases. The first part of the book describes genetic studies on rheumatic diseases. The second part deals with the shared heredity of rheumatic diseases, eg RA and ankylosing spondylitis. The third part of the volume describes tools for analysing complexity. The volume addresses researchers and clinicians from rheumatology, inflammation research, immunology, and cell and molecular biology.
