This study was aimed to identify the potential predictors of the JIA patients’ response to methotrexate among some of the immune response mediator genes’ polymorphic loci (TNFA rs1800629, LTA rs909253, IL1B rs16944, IL2-IL21 rs6822844, IL2RA rs2104286, IL6 rs1800795, IL10 rs1800872, MIF rs755622, CTLA4 rs3087243, NFKB1 rs28362491, PTPN22 rs2476601, PADI4 rs2240336) variants. The gene discussed is PTPN22; the disease is juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
