Open Access Abstract Introduction Collagen-induced arthritis CIA in mice is a commonly used experimental model for rheumatoid arthritis RA . We have previously identified a significant quantitative trait locus denoted Cia40 on chromosome 11 that affects CIA in older female mice. This locus colocalizes with another locus denoted Pregq2 known to affect reproductive success. The present study was performed to evaluate the role of the Cia40 locus in congenic mice and to identify possible polymorphic candidate genes which may also be relevant in the context of RA.
