This statistical datum has been also kept when patients have been analyzed considering inactive disease for arthritis (HC3: rs =  − 0.63, p = 0.001; LC3: rs =  − 0.53, p = 0.01) and uveitis (HC3: rs =  − 0.47, p = 0.01; LC3: rs =  − 0.39, p = 0.05) independently. Here, MAP1LC3A is linked to Arthritis.
