Network analysis identified novel disease module in rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract

Aim. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease causing chronic joint inflammation and is a leading cause of disability. Despite existing therapies, unmet needs like refractory disease remain a patients’ burden. This study aims to explore molecular associations with RA to identify new biomarkers or molecular targets. Conclusions. The identified molecular associations suggest novel links in RA, offering potential targets for mechanistic studies to understand their role in the disease pathobiology.
