Likewise, in our recently published study of 6682 Swedish patients with established RA and matched healthy controls included in the Epidemiological Investigation of Rheumatoid Arthritis (EIRA) registry, we reported no increased prevalence of periodontitis diagnosis in patients with RA as compared to controls, and no differences in periodontitis prevalence based on ACPA or rheumatoid factor (RF) status [21]. The gene discussed is PRTN3; the disease is periodontitis.
