Genetic research is focused on which specific genes are involved in the inflammatory process, immune response, and breakdown of cartilage. Understanding the genetic connection may lead to a cure or better treatment options for arthritis and related conditions.

Is Arthritis Hereditary? If a family member has arthritis, should you worry? Is arthritis hereditary?

HLA-B27 and HLA-DR4 - Arthritis and the Genetic Factor Genetics has become the focal point of new and ongoing arthritis research.

The New Genetics: National Institute of General Medical Sciences The New Genetics explains how genes affect your health. The New Genetics describes the basics of how DNA and RNA work. It also explains how studies of evolution drive medical research, how genes influence health and disease, and how computer science is advancing genetics in the 21st century.

NHGRI: The National Human Genome Research Institute The National Human Genome Research Institute led the Human Genome Project for the National Institutes of Health, which culminated in the completion of the full human genome sequence in April 2003. Now, NHGRI moves forward into the genomic era with research aimed at improving human health and fighting disease.
