Enhancing Genetic Studies on Rheumatic Diseases in Latin America: The IARGE-RD Initiative
Rheumatic diseases (RDs) encompass a diverse group of systemic inflammatory conditions of autoimmune origin. These diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), and connective tissue diseases, affect millions of people globally.
