Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic and inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily affects joint health. It is one of the most prevalent inflammatory diseases and symptoms include swollen, tender, and stiff joints (Smolen JS et al. (2016)). As with other chronic autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis is heterogeneous and has a higher prevalence in females (Radu AF et al. (2021)). Risk factors include smoking, previous infections, and low socioeconomic status (Smolen JS et al. (2016)).

Differential abundance and machine learning analysis

This section presents the disease-specific results of the differential abundance and machine learning analyses. The analyses are reported for three comparisons: 1) disease vs. all other diseases, 2) disease vs. diseases from the same class, and 3) disease vs. healthy samples.
