Genetic susceptibility to higher plasma levels of ICOSLG, ERBB2, ALDH2, FCGR3A, PAM, TNFAIP3, CD40, MFAP2, BCL2L15, HAPLN4, SUGP1, FCRL3, OLFML3, PADI4, WASL, POLR2F, IGSF11, and ADPGK correlated with increased RA risk, while NFKBIE, CCL21, IL6R, CD28, FCGR2A, FLT3, IFNGR2, SPRED2, CCL19, CELF2, H2AZ1, H2BC21, H2AC25, and H2BC26 showed inverse associations (Figure 2). The gene discussed is CELF2; the disease is rheumatoid arthritis.
