    Abstract

    The introduction of anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) agents has greatly improved the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis; however, a significant proportion of patients fail to respond to therapy. We hypothesized that genes within the TNF receptor superfamily member 1B signalling pathway contribute towards the observed variation in patient response. This was tested by genotyping 73 singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from six candidate genes (DUSP1, HRB, IKBKAP, MAP3K1, MAP3K14 and TANK) in a large UK cohort of rheumatoid arthritis patients (n=642). Two SNPs [rs96844 (MAP3K1) and rs4792847 (MAP3K14)] showed evidence of association (P
