Rheumatoid Arthritis
People with rheumatoid arthritis and their family members (parents, siblings, or offspring over 18) are invited to take part in this study. No medication or treatment is given as part of this trial. The goal is to learn about the possible causes of rheumatoid arthritis, both genetic and environmental.
Candidates over 18 who have a confirmed diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, are willing to provide a blood sample, and who have one or more relatives (parent, brothers, sisters, or offspring over 18) without rheumatoid arthritis may qualify.
The research site is in Manhasset, N.Y.
