Outline of Final Research Achievements

It was tried to detect the genetic factors and the mechanisms of adverse effects by anti-rheumatic drugs. The genome wide association study was performed, but the results were not confirmed by the replication analysis. No specific micro RNA was detected in the plasma from the rheumatoid arthritis patients with methotrexate-induced interstitial lung diseases. The transgenic mouse of HLA-A*31:01, a susceptibility allele for methotrexate-induced interstitial lung diseases, was not more susceptible for the model of methotrexate-induced induced interstitial lung disease.
