Rheumatoid arthritis and gum disease study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether rheumatoid arthritis and gum disease (periodontitis) are linked using genetic information. It may help understand if one condition can cause the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have genetic data available from a large study (GWAS database).
- You need genetic information related to rheumatoid arthritis.
- You need genetic information related to gum disease (periodontitis).
- Your genetic data must be complete and not missing important health information.

This study looks at the link between gum disease (periodontitis) and chronic kidney disease. It may help understand if treating one affects the other.
This study looks at how inflammation in the gums relates to genes in adults with obesity. Researchers want to understand why some people with obesity develop more gum disease, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at the genetic and bacterial profiles in gum disease and implant infections. It might help find new ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
This study looks at gum disease (periodontitis and gingivitis) and inflammation using blood and dental samples. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects gum health.
This study looks at how gum health and smoking affect certain proteins in your saliva. It may help researchers understand more about gum disease and inflammation.
This research study investigates how certain immune proteins (JAK1 and JAK2) work in gum tissue, both in healthy gums and in gum disease. Understanding this may help develop better treatments for periodontal disease in the future.
