Poor clinical response in rheumatoid arthritis is the main risk factor for diabetes development in the short-term: A 1-year, single-centre, longitudinal study. by Piero Ruscitti, Francesco Ursini, Paola Cipriani, Vasiliki Liakouli, Francesco Carubbi, Onorina Berardicurti, Giovambattista De Sarro, Roberto Giacomelli

“…<h4>Objectives</h4>Despite of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) provided different sets of recommendations for the management of cardiovascular risk in inflammatory arthritis patients, it must be pointed out that cardiometabolic comorbidity, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), remains still underdiagnosed and undertreated in patients affected by rheumatoid arthritis (RA).<h4>Methods</h4>In this work, we designed a single centre, prospective study in order to better investigate the occurrence of T2D during the course of 1 year of follow-up. …”

Prognostic importance of human leukocyte antigen DRβ1 gene and protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor Type 22 gene polymorphism in rheumatoid arthritis by Pramod Kumar Verma, Usha Singh, Shyam Kumar Saraf, Narendra Kumar Singh

“…Background: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene and some of the non-MHC genes are associated with genetic predisposition in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of the present study was to find the prevalence of HLA DRβ1 alleles and protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in RA patients and also assessed their correlation with laboratory and clinical parameters. …”
