HLA alleles account for a large proportion of this heritability, in addition to many common single-nucleotide polymorphisms with smaller individual effects. Low-frequency and rare variants, such as those captured by next-generation sequencing, can also have a large role in heritability in some individuals. Rare variant discovery has informed the development of drugs such as inhibitors of PCSK9 and Janus kinases. Some 34 low-frequency and rare variants are currently associated with RA risk. One variant (19:10352442G>C in TYK2) was identified in five separate studies, and might therefore represent a promising therapeutic target. Following a set of best practices in future studies, including studying diverse populations, using large sample sizes, validating RA and serostatus, replicating findings, adjusting for other variants and performing functional assessment, could help to ensure the relevance of identified variants. Exciting opportunities are now on the horizon for genetics in RA, including larger datasets and consortia, whole-genome sequencing and direct applications of findings in the management, and especially treatment, of RA. Rheumatoid arthritis has a substantial genetic component, some of which is associated with the presence of low-frequency or rare variants. Next-generation sequencing in large and well-defined cohorts can continue to identify these variants and thereby contribute to the future prediction, diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.","PeriodicalId":18810,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Rheumatology","volume":"20 5","pages":"290-300"},"PeriodicalIF":33.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140303657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, gout is associated with multiple cardiometabolic–renal comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. These comorbidities, potentially combined with gout flare-related inflammation, contribute to persistent premature mortality in gout, independently of serum urate concentrations and traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Although better implementation of standard gout care could improve gout outcomes, deliberate efforts to address the cardiovascular risk in patients with gout are likely to be required to reduce mortality. Sodium–glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are approved for multiple indications owing to their ability to lower the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death, hospitalizations for heart failure and chronic kidney disease progression, making them an attractive treatment option for gout. These medications have also been shown to lower serum urate concentrations, the causal culprit in gout risk, and are associated with a reduced risk of incident and recurrent gout, potentially owing to their purported anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, SGLT2 inhibition could simultaneously address both the symptoms of gout and its comorbidities. Gout is associated with various cardiometabolic–renal comorbidities that increase the risk of mortality. Sodium–glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors show promise in both addressing the symptoms of gout and managing relevant comorbidities to help prevent premature mortality.","PeriodicalId":18810,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Rheumatology","volume":"20 4","pages":"216-231"},"PeriodicalIF":33.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140110671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
