Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory arthritis. Despite many treatment advances, achieving remission or low-disease activity in RA remains challenging, often requiring trial and error approaches with numerous medications. Precision medicine, particularly pharmacogenomics, explores how genetic factors influence drug response in individual patients, and incorporates such factors to develop personalized treatments for individual patients. Genetic variations in drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and targets may contribute to inter-individual differences in drug efficacy and toxicity. Advancements in molecular sequencing have allowed rapid identification of such variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This review highlights recent major findings in the pharmacogenetics of therapies in RA, focusing on key genes and SNPs to provide insights into current trends and developments in this field.
