Abstract
This invention relates to predicting a subjects responsiveness to biologic therapy of rheumatoid arthritis. The invention provides a method for predicting responsiveness to anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy of rheumatoid arthritis in a subject, the method comprising the steps of:(a) Providing a biological sample;(b) detecting the presence, absence, or quantitative level of a first marker or an expression product thereof, wherein the first marker is at the HLA DRB1 gene;(c) detecting the presence, absence, or quantitative level of a second marker, or an expression product thereof, wherein the second marker is at the CD226 gene;(d) correlating the presence, absence, or quantitative level of the first marker and the presence, absence, or quantitative level of the second marker; to the predicted responsiveness to anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy of rheumatoid arthritis in the subject.
