摘要:
Analysis is made on the DNA methylation of the region (including a promoter region) upstream from the translation initiation point of a rheumatoid arthritis-associated gene DR3 in human genome. As a result, it is found out that an allele-specific methylation occurs in a CpG sequence located about −380 to −180 bp upstream from translation initiation point (ATG) of the gene DR3. It is further found out that the CpG sequences downstream therefrom of the genes DR3 originating in healthy subjects are all in the unmethylated state, while methylated and unmethylated sequences are both observed in the genes DR3 originating in RA patients.

摘要:
Pharmaceutical agents characterized by containing benzophenone derivatives represented by the general formula: wherein the each substituent is as defined in the specification, or salts thereof have suppressive effect on RANKL production, suppressive effect on OPG reduction and inhibitory effects on differentiation/activation of osteoclasts, and are extremely useful for treating, for example therapy and/or prevention, of various diseases in which differentiation/activation of osteoclast are involved, such as osteoporosis.
摘要:
An gene was identified as a RA disease susceptibility gene on Human Chromosome 8, the gene coding a protein that has an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ. ID NO. 1 and that has such mutation that glycine is inserted as a 269th amino acid in the sequence. Moreover, it was found that mutation of the gene and the protein relate to onset of RA. Achieved is a method of evaluating with high accuracy the onset or onset possibility of RA by using the mutation.
