Genetic polymorphisms in a citrullinating or deiminating enzyme peptidyl arginine deiminase type IV PADI4 have been reproducibly associated with RA susceptibility in several populations. We investigated whether PADI4 polymorphisms contribute to anti-CCP-negative as well as -positive RA whether they influence disease severity erosive joint status and whether they interact with two major risk factors for RA Human Leukocyte Antigen-DRB1 HLA-DRB1 shared epitope SE alleles and smoking depending on anti-CCP and erosive joint status. Methods All 2 317 unrelated Korean subjects including 1 313 patients with RA and 1 004 unaffected controls were genotyped for three nonsynonymous padi4_89 padi4_90 and padi4_92 and one synonymous padi4_104 singlenucleotide polymorphisms SNPs in PADI4 and for HLA-DRB1 by direct DNA sequence analysis. Odds ratios OR were calculated by multivariate logistic regression. Interaction was evaluated by attributable proportions AP with 95 confidence intervals CI . Results A functional haplotype of the three fully correlated nonsynonymous SNPs in PADI4 was significantly associated with susceptibility to not only anti-CCP-positive adjusted OR 95 CI to but also -negative RA adjusted OR 95 CI to . A strong association with both non-erosive adjusted OR 95 CI to and erosive RA adjusted OR 95 CI to was observed for PADI4 .
