The EATT results of the RA patients showed strong, positive and significant correlations with their DAS28-ESR (rho: 0.778, p < 0.001), DAS28-CRP (rho: 0.882, p < 0.001), SDAI (rho: 0.835, p < 0.001) and CDAI (rho: 0.838, p < 0.001) results (Fig. 1). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is rheumatoid arthritis.
