Tool Uses Genetics to Diagnose Early Inflammatory Arthritis

Lucy Hicks A new diagnostic tool can effectively discriminate different rheumatologic conditions and could potentially aid in the diagnosis of early inflammatory arthritis. The algorithm — called Genetic Probability tool (G-PROB) — uses genetic information to calculate the probability of certain diseases. “At such an early stage of disease, it’s not always easy to determine...

People with alopecia found to have higher risk for inflammatory arthritis

by Lori Solomon Alopecia areata (AA) is associated with a higher risk for inflammatory arthritis, according to a study published online April 28 in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. Colin M. Kincaid, from University of California at Irvine, and colleagues used medical records from 75 health care organizations (TriNetx) to determine if an association exists between...
