Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease. We aimed to measure the level of miR-155 and its genetic variant rs767649 in patients with RA and to evaluate their relationship with ischemia-modified albumin (IMA). The study was performed on 79 patients with RA (group I) and 78 healthy control participants (group II). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to assess the expression of serum miR-155 in addition to its functional variant rs767649. IMA levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Significant overexpression of miR-155 and higher levels of IMA were detected in patients with RA compared with those in controls ( |
