Abstract
The present invention provides compositions and methods based on genetic polymorphisms that are associated with autoimmune disease, particularly rheumatoid arthritis. For example, the present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules containing the polymorphisms, variant proteins encoded by these nucleic acid molecules, reagents for detecting the polymorphic nucleic acid molecules and variant proteins, and methods of using the nucleic acid molecules and proteins as well as methods of using reagents for their detection.
