Overview

Causes

The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is idiopathic but genetic, environmental, hormonal, immunologic, infectious factors, socioeconomic, psychological, and lifestyle factors play important role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Genetic factors:[1]
    • In United States, HLA-DR4 cluster(HLA-DR beta *0401, 0404, or 0405,) part of one of the peptide-binding sites of certain HLA-DR molecules associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
    • In European countries, HLA-DR1 (HLA-DR beta *0101) is associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Infectious agents: Various infectious agents involved in rheumatoid arthritis are:[2][3]
    • Mycoplasma
    • Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
    • Rubella virus
    • Porphyromonas gingivalis

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of disease name include:

  • [Cause1]
  • [Cause2]
  • [Cause3]

Genetic Causes

  • [Disease name] is caused by a mutation in the [gene name] gene.
