Abstract

To analyze the association of interleukin (IL-1) gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to, and severity of, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, comparing them with the genotype distribution in healthy controls. Also, to assess the influence of IL1-B and IL1RN gene polymorphism on IL-1beta/IL-1Ra plasma levels and response to therapy.
