The genetic mechanisms that are complementary in predisposing and then establishing disease are yet to be fully elucidated. During a lifetime, the genetic composition of the host is not only hereditary but undergoes rearrangements, integrations, and more subtle single-base pair alterations. These changes can be inconsequential or lead to aberrant and deleterious pathologic changes. In a complex multifactorial disease such as RA, the relative roles of the dynamic versus germline elements of the disease have yet to be fully determined. Further studies of large populations are likely to segregate out factors affecting specific ethnic, clinical, and genetic subgroups.
