These findings did not support the genetic association between miR-146a rs2910164 (G/C) and JRA susceptibility, as well as the association of miR-196a-2 rs11614913 (C/T), miR-146a rs2431697, miR-146a rs57095329, miR-149 rs22928323 with arthritis.
A stratified analysis showed an association of the rs11614913 TT genotype and T allele with the arthritis subgroup of BD (P(c) = 5.3 × 10(-3), OR = 1.89; P(c) = 0.015, OR = 1.56, respectively).
