Abstract
Poster project on Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) which is a common autoimmune disorder, affecting approximately 1% of the population worldwide. The interaction of genetic and environmental factors results in a cascade of immune reactions, which eventually lead to the development of structural bone damage, joint damage, and synovitis (Gibofsky, 2012).
