Abstract
Our study suggested that a positive autoantibody status may predispose an individual to RA. PTPN22 may act as a susceptibility gene only in certain ethnic groups and there is no direct association between PTPN22 C1858 polymorphism and RA patients from Western India. Still a larger study is needed to understand whether this polymorphism predisposes individual to disease-associated antibodies among Indian RA patients.
