Identification of key biomarkers in RF-negative polyarticular and oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis by bioinformatic analysis

Pediatr Rheumatol Online JPublished Bioinformatic analysis

Authors' conclusion

In this study, we identified JUN, CXCL8, SOCS3, and KRAS as biomarkers for RF-negative pJIA and JUN, CXCL8, SOCS3, PTGS2, and NFKBIA as biomarkers for oJIA.

Study context

Population

Outcome
Diagnostic biomarkers and role of immune cells in the pathogenesis of RF-negative pJIA and oJIA
