Genetics of rheumatic disease [PDF]
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2009 Many of the chronic inflammatory and degenerative disorders that present to clinical rheumatologists have a complex genetic aetiology. Over the past decade a dramatic improvement in technology and methodology has accelerated the pace of gene discovery in complex disorders in an exponential fashion.

Giant cell arteritis: incidence and phenotypic distribution in Western Norway 2013–2020
Frontiers in Medicine, 2023 ObjectivesThere is an increasing awareness of the spectrum of phenotypes in giant cell arteritis (GCA). However, there is sparse evidence concerning the phenotypic distribution which may be influenced by both genetic background and the environment.

Glycosylation and rheumatic disease
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1998 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other rheumatic diseases are associated with a significant defect in the galactosyltransferase enzyme that results in a profound change in the galactosylation of immunoglobulin G. This change has been demonstrated to be integrally associated with pathogenic mechanisms associated with inflammation in RA.
