Identification of an Amino Acid Motif in HLA–DRβ1 That Distinguishes Uveitis in Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Uveitis is a visually-debilitating disorder that affects up to 30% of children with the most common forms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The disease mechanisms predisposing only a subgroup of children to uveitis are unknown. To identify genetic susceptibility loci for uveitis in JIA, we conducted a genome-wide association study totalling 522 JIA cases.
