Rheumatoid Arthritis

Yesterday 2,379 blood samples arrived at the Broad Institute from i2b2's RA DBP. DNA will be fully extracted by end of the Summer.

For 384 SNP, there are several big questions to ask;

1. RA risk alleles. Are they reproduced? (45 SNP's)

2. Meta-analysis/

3. Auto-antibodies in RA.

4. Ancestry markers.

Here is Robert in celebratory garb.
