Seven genes including Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase 1 (GOT1), NK2 Homeobox 3 transcription factor (NKX2-3), Solute Carrier Family 25 Member 8 (SLC25A28), Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 Oncogene Partner (CPE43), Chemokine Receptor-Like 3 (CCR6), C-Type Lectin Domain Containing 16A (CLEC16A), and RecQ Mediated Genome Instability 2 (RMI2), were previously associated to rheumatoid arthritis. This evidence concerns the gene CCR6 and rheumatoid arthritis.
