“RA is heterogeneous, but people sometimes think about it in superficial ways without looking through the lens of molecular medicine. This is very relevant for discovery and development of new treatments for different subsets of RA,” Dr. Tak says. The kind of subtyping illustrated in the Orange study, he notes, eventually could point toward stratified and precision medicine approaches in the treatment of RA.
