Unraveling genetic complexity in RA A large number of population studies have confirmed an association between RA and a cluster of genes involved in immune function that is called the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex. Much of this prior research has suggested that a gene within the region called HLA-DRBI is the primary gene responsible for the development of RA.

Late Breaking Poster and Press Conference Featuring New Kineret Data Scheduled at 66th American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., October 25, 2002 Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) "The results seen with Kineret are exciting because they signal that we may have another therapeutic option for slowing the progression of RA," said Dr. William Shergy, a rheumatologist at Rheumatology Associates of North Alabama. "This disease involves a silent destruction of bones and joints which, if left untreated, leads to deformity and disability." Bone and Joint Inhibition On October 22, Amgen announced that it had submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the use of Kineret to inhibit the progression of structural damage in adult RA patients. Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis A 16-week multi-center, blinded, placebo-controlled study of 76 pediatric JRA patients (aged 2 years -17 years) included a 12-week open-label "run-in" period in which all patients were treated with Kineret (1 mg/kg daily subcutaneous injections). The results after 12 weeks show that 64 percent of the patients who reached week 12 and were assessed for efficacy (n=56) exhibited at least a 30 percent improvement in their disease based on the JRA Core Set Criteria when compared to baseline, and were considered responders. The JRA Core Set Criteria include number of active joints, number of joints with limited motion, physician's global assessment, patient's/parent's global assessment, children's Health Assessment Questionnaire, and a lab test known as erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis All about JRA Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis , JRA for short, is an autoimmune disease . It effects the person's joints and makes the bones extremely painful and brittle or fragile. Rheumatoid Arthritis occurs in older people. Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis occurs in young children. The cause of this disease is unknown to scientist. (But I have gotten it simply from a TB shot when I was a baby). Autoimmune disease occurs when your own white blood cells attacking your own body, in this case the bones, instead of bacteria. Due to this, your immune system would not be as well as other people without the autoimmune disease. You catch colds easily and usually lasts quite a long time. White Blood Cells are one kind of blood cells in your blood that attacks unwanted "guests" in your body, such as bacteria. Hope you learned something about my very painful disease.

You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. ( En Espanol Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis What is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis? Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is arthritis that causes joint inflammation and stiffness for more than 6 weeks in a child of 16 years of age or less. Inflammation causes redness, swelling, warmth, and soreness in the joints, although many children with JRA do not complain of joint pain. Any joint can be affected and inflammation may limit the mobility of affected joints. How Is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Different From Adult Rheumatoid Arthritis? The main difference between juvenile and adult rheumatoid arthritis is that many people with JRA outgrow the illness, while adults usually have lifelong symptoms. Studies estimate that by adulthood, JRA symptoms disappear in more than half of all affected children. Additionally, unlike rheumatoid arthritis in an adult, JRA may affect bone development as well as the child's growth. Another difference between JRA and adult rheumatoid arthritis is the percentage of people who are positive for RF. About 70 to 80 percent of all adults with rheumatoid arthritis are positive for RF, but fewer than half of all children with rheumatoid arthritis are RF positive. Presence of RF indicates an increased chance that JRA will continue into adulthood.

How common is the diagnosis of JRA? How do we make the diagnosis? What is going on inside the joints? ... What are the laboratory tests that you order for my child to help make the diagnosis? What is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis? There are several types of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA). Some of the children have arthritis ranging from very mild limited joint involvement to severe systemic disease associated with high fever, rash, and lymph node enlargement. We will explain the different types of JRA in more detail. Briefly, the three major subtypes include: systemic, polyarticular and pauciarticular. In other countries, these diseases may be called Juvenile Arthritis or Juvenile Chronic Arthritis which omits the "rheumatoid." The name of the diagnosis could change again in a few years as the pediatric rheumatologists around the world discuss and learn more about the disease.

JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS WHAT IS JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS? Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a chronic condition that causes joint swelling and stiffness for more than six consecutive weeks in a child 16 years of age or less. About 285,000 children in the United States have juvenile arthritis, and about 100,000 have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. There are three types of JRA: Pauciarticular Polyarticular Systemic WHAT CAUSES JRA? The cause of JRA is unknown. It is a disease in which the immune system begins to attack healthy cells and tissues. It is possible that the child's genetic makeup contributes to a tendency for developing JRA, and then an environmental factor (such as an infection or virus) triggers the onset of JRA. WHO IS AT RISK? Children can develop JRA as early as infancy, but it occurs most frequently in the toddler to teen years. Girls develop JRA more frequently than boys. HOW IS IT DIAGNOSED? There is no single test that can be used to diagnose JRA. A doctor diagnoses JRA by examining the child and considering the child's medical history. Doctors usually suspect JRA, along with other possible conditions, when they see a child with persistent pain or joint swelling, unexplained rashes and fever, swelling of the lymph nodes or inflammation of internal organs. Blood tests can be used to rule out other causes. HOW IS IT TREATED?

Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves inflammation of the lining of many different joints in your body. In some people, RA can also affect other parts of the body, including the blood, the lungs, and the heart. Inflammation of the joint lining, called the synovium , can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, warmth, and redness. The affected joint may also lose its shape, resulting in loss of normal movement. RA can last a long time, and can be a disease of flares (active) and remissions (little to no activity). View our animation to see how inflammation and joint damage progress in rheumatoid arthritis. RA affects about 2.1 million Americans, or about 1% of the adult population in the United States. This disease is two to three times more common in women than in men, and generally affects people between the ages of 20 and 50. However, young children can develop a form of RA called

JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS BYTES Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) is a chronic inflammation and swelling of joints which causes pain and stiffness in the joints for children. Although the symptoms of JRA are not constant, children generally have the disease for several years. JRA takes three different forms: Pauciarticular, Polyarticular, and Systemic JRA. Pauciarticular JRA causes painful swelling in one to four joints. Approximately one half of all children with JRA have the pauciarticular type. Polyarticular JRA inflames five or more of the joints throughout the body, including small joints in the hands and feet, and larger joints such as knees and elbows. This type affects approximately 35 percent of children with chronic arthritis. Systemic JRA affects 15 percent of JRA children and in addition to swollen joints, the child experiences fevers as a high as 106 degrees as well as a rash. Eighty percent of children with JRA will be rid of the inflammation by the time they reach adulthood. Non steroidal anti-inflammatory medications are the treatment of choice for children with JRA because of their pain and swelling.
