Objective: To determine whether systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) susceptibility loci that were identified by candidate gene studies demonstrate association with systemic JIA in the largest study population assembled to date. Methods: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 11 previously reported systemic JIA risk loci were...
