How can you use “jra” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The DQA1*0501 allele is strongly associated with early-onset pauciarticular JRA in Northern European populations [ 23 24 ] and with increased risk for juvenile dermatomyositis [ 25 ] and Sjögren's syndrome with high autoantibody production [ 26 27 ] . In our proposed model, aberrant class II MHC regulation could result from altered DEK binding and/or interaction with NF-Y, and aberrant class II expression may alter or enhance reactivity against DEK-derived or other self peptides.
Of these, four had B27 + AS, two had SLE (in one case associated with anti-phospholipid antibodies), one had JRA, and one had juvenile dermatomyositis (Tables 1and 2).
AS = ankylosing spondylitis; B27 = histocompatibility antigen B27; CREST = calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, telangiectasia; E 2 = estradiol-17β JRA = juvenile rheumatoid arthritis; RA = rheumatoid arthritis; RAD = rheumatic/autoimmune disease; SLE = systemic lupus erythematosus.
Immune dysregulation appears to play a key pathogenic role, as circulating autoantibodies are common in patients with certain JRA clinical subtypes [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ] . Two recent studies have shown a highly significant association between early-onset pauciarticular JRA and circulating antibodies to the 43-kDa nuclear protein DEK [ 8 9 ] . Although circulating DEK antibodies have subsequently been found in children and adults with other autoimmune diseases [ 10 11 ] , these two studies did reveal that children with JRA are significantly more likely to have anti-DEK antibodies than are children without rheumatic disease.
Children with pauciarticular-onset JRA were also significantly more likely to have anti-DEK antibodies than were children with polyarticular-onset or systemic-onset JRA or other rheumatic diseases.
