Hot off the press in @ARD_BMJ: new gene-respiratory disease endotypes that may drive #rheumatoidarthritis. This includes top genes to test in people with #ild for RA risk. Special thanks to mentors @jeffsparks @JohnDavisIII. Check it out here! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3948…

Low-frequency and rare variants have capacity to explain the "missing heritability" in RA and improve its diagnosis and treatment. See our Nature Review that was just released: rdcu.be/dCCBB #mayoclinicrheumatology @jeffsparks

Our recent study at #Brigham showed respiratory diseases and genes interact for #RA risk. That is, #ILD-#HLA and #asthma-#MUC5B showed synergistic interactions. These may help RA prevention and screening. @jeffsparks @JohnDavisIII @CrowsonCindy shorturl.at/egIT7

Fellow Dr. Katrina Williamson gave an amazing noon conference for #mayoclinicrheumatology today on #interstitialgranulomatousdermatitis in the setting of #MCTD that resolved with #JAKinhibitor. So lucky to work in a place where we learn to treat both common and rare disease!

@KronzerMD @jeffsparks on association of respiratory diseases with incident RA. Upper airway diseases (sinusitis, pharyngitis) seem to associate even more strongly than asthma/COPD. Abstr#564 #ACR21 @RheumNow

In @jrheum: Dr. Losina collaborated on this paper with @KronzerMD and @jeffsparks. They found an association between acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis, and asthma with an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis. @BrighamResearch. Read more here: bit.ly/2Zbk4rF
