      Rao, Deepak; Gurish, Michael F.; Marshall, Jennifer L.; Slowikowski, Kamil; Fonseka, Chamith Y.; Liu, Yanyan; Donlin, Laura T.; Henderson, Lauren; Wei, Kevin; Mizoguchi, Fumitaka; Teslovich, Nikola; Weinblatt, Michael; Massarotti, Elena; Coblyn, Jonathan; Helfgott, Simon; Lee, Yvonne C.; Todd, Derrick; Bykerk, Vivian P.; Goodman, Susan M.; Pernis, Alessandra B.; Ivashkiv, Lionel B.; Karlson, Elizabeth; Nigrovic, Peter; Filer, Andrew; Buckley, Christopher D.; Lederer, James; Raychaudhuri, Soumya; Brenner, Michael (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-02-02)
      CD4+ T cells are central mediators of autoimmune pathology; however, defining their key effector functions in specific autoimmune diseases remains challenging. Pathogenic CD4+ T cells within affected tissues may be identified ...
    • Postmenopausal hormone therapy and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis: results from the Swedish EIRA population-based case-control study 

      Orellana, Cecilia; Saevarsdottir, Saedis; Klareskog, Lars; Karlson, Elizabeth W.; Alfredsson, Lars; Bengtsson, Camilla (Springer Netherlands, 2015)
      To study the association between postmenopausal hormone therapy (PMH) use and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) stratifying the cases by the presence/absence of antibodies against citrullinated peptides (ACPA). A subset ...
    • A Prospective Study of Androgen Levels, Hormone-related Genes and Risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis 

      McGrath, Monica; Keenan, Brendan T; Karlson, Elizabeth Wood; Chibnik, Lori; Chang, Shun-Chiao; Costenbader, Karen Harte; Fraser, Patricia Ann; Tworoger, Shelley Slate; Tworoger, Shelley Slate; Hankinson, Susan Elizabeth; Lee, I-Min; Buring, Julie Elizabeth; De Vivo, Immaculata (BioMed Central, 2009)
      Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is more common in females than males and sex steroid hormones may in part explain this difference. We conducted a case–control study nested within two prospective studies to determine ...
    • Protein, iron, and meat consumption and risk for rheumatoid arthritis: a prospective cohort study 

      Benito-Garcia, Elizabeth; Feskanich, Diane; Hu, Frank B.; Mandl, Lisa A; Karlson, Elizabeth Wood (BioMed Central, 2007)
      A recent prospective study showed that higher consumption of red meat and total protein was associated with increased risk for inflammatory polyarthritis. We therefore prospectively examined the relationship between diet ...
    • TYK2 Protein-Coding Variants Protect against Rheumatoid Arthritis and Autoimmunity, with No Evidence of Major Pleiotropic Effects on Non-Autoimmune Complex Traits 

      Diogo, Dorothée; Bastarache, Lisa; Liao, Katherine P.; Graham, Robert R.; Fulton, Robert S.; Greenberg, Jeffrey D.; Eyre, Steve; Bowes, John; Cui, Jing; Lee, Annette; Pappas, Dimitrios A.; Kremer, Joel M.; Barton, Anne; Coenen, Marieke J.

(Public Library of Science, 2015)
      Despite the success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in detecting a large number of loci for complex phenotypes such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility, the lack of information on the causal genes leaves ...
