Decoding the differential biomarkers of Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis: A functional genomics paradigm to
Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease of unidentified aetiology, chiefly affecting the synovial membranes of joints, cartilage, bone, bursa and tendon sheath. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disorder and encompass different sets of pathogenic pathways than RA; however, it shows a medley of clinical manifestations or symptoms resembling RA. Hence, we intend to identify more disease specific biomarkers through the meta-analysis of microarray datasets that can be crucial in the differential diagnosis, disease specific treatment as well as management of both RA and OA in a typical clinical setting.
