Strong evidence was assigned to 4 variants (IL-17A rs2275913, IL-17A rs8193037, IL-17F rs1889570, IL-17F rs763780) with susceptibility to 6 human diseases (lung and cervical cancer, spondyloarthritis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis), moderate to 2 variants with risk of 5 diseases, weak to 5 variants with risk of 10 diseases. This evidence concerns the gene IL17A and rheumatoid arthritis.
