Methotrexate (MTX) administered at the dose 10?15 mg/m2 is recommended as the first?line therapy in most juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) subtypes. The disease?modifying effect of methotrexate is associated with release of adenosine and mediated via binding to adenosine receptor A2A (ADORA2A) and 3 (ADORA3). The aim of our study was to determine the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in ADORA2A (rs2236624, rs2298383) and ADORA3 (rs3393) receptor genes on the disease activity and presence of MTX therapy side effects in patients with JIA.

The dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID?19) pandemic has become of special concern to the rheumatology community. Rheumatic patients are required to engage in effective health management but their behavior is often influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This cross?sectional study aims to examine patients’ experiences during the current pandemic and its implication on their health perception and behavior.

Scleroderma (SSc) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis in the skin and internal organs. In SSc, the heart, lung, kidney, gastrointestinal (GIS) system, muscle, and peri?articular structures are damaged. There is no study of the relationship between SSc type, stage, pathogenesis, organ involvement, and Wnt signaling. In this study, we aimed to show the relationship of the Wnt gene family and antagonists in SSc subtypes and different organ involvement.

The use of an immunosuppressant is recommended as a treatment for remission induction in anti?neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)?associated vasculitis (AAV). However, the immunosuppressant is sometimes discontinued due to an adverse event. We sought to identify the cause and risk factors for immunosuppressant discontinuation in patients with AAV receiving remission induction treatment.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with multifactorial etiology. Several studies show that genetic factors have an important part in the incidence of SLE. The C1QTNF4 gene is involved in the regulation of the inflammatory pathways by pro?inflammatory function. In the present study, we have evaluated the association between C1QTNF4 gene p.His198Gln mutation and risk of SLE.
