Analysis of Autoimmune Dysregulation in Rheumatic Disease
Brief description of study
The purpose of this research study is to figure out what causes the immune system to attack joints and what is different between patients who have a form of autoimmune arthritis and patients who do not. We are asking you to be a “control” which means that we will compare your immune cells to immune cells of people with arthritis.
Detailed description of study
You will have one visit for a baseline blood draw to determine eligibility. If you are eligible, you will be invited to participate in the study for up to 10 years. During that time, you may donate blood as often as once a month. If you do not have immune characteristics of interest, the study will end. We plan to enroll 150 participants with rheumatoid arthritis and 300 healthy participants or people without rheumatoid arthritis.

-
