NF-κB and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Will Understanding Genetic Risk Lead to a Therapeutic Reward?

NF-κB has long been known to play an important role in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Indeed, as our understanding of how NF-κB is utilized has increased, we have been hard put to find a process not associated with this transcription factor family in some way. However, new data originating, in part, from genome-wide association studies have demonstrated that very specific alterations in components of the NF-κB pathway are sufficient to confer increased risk of developing disease. Here we review the data which have identified specific components of the NF-κB pathway, and consider what is known of their mechanisms of action and how these mechanisms might play into the disease process. In addition, the use of genetic information to predict RA is considered.
