None, Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack certain connective tissue in the body it affects joints lungs eyes and many other organs as well.
Some of the treatments for RA such as disease modifying drugs (methotrexate for example) can make weaken the immune system and make one more prone to Infectious Diseases.

How is salmonella food poisoning linked to arthritis?

What disorders does not seem to be linked to genetics?
It can be difficult to definitively determine which disorders are not linked to genetics, as genetics can play a role in many health conditions. However, some conditions, such as some types of infectious diseases or certain environmental exposures, may not have a strong genetic component.
What disease has the programmed cell death gene been linked to?
Programmed cell death is a normal, and vital part of the cell cycle. There are a number of genes involved in programmed cell death, or apoptosis. If key genes involved in this process are mutated, you can get diseases like cancer - which arises from misregulation of the cell cycle, as well as a huge range of other possible mutations.
What is Sex - linked inherited diseases such as hemophilia?
In sex-linked inherited diseases such as hemophilia, mothers most often pass the disease to sons.
Is measles infectious or non infectious?
Measles are infact pathogenic. As it is an infectious disease and the pathogens are infectious viruses and the leucocytes/leukocytes and phagocytes (white blood cells) can't cope with them.
What chromosomes has the genetic mutation for rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease influenced by multiple genetic factors rather than a single mutation on specific chromosomes. However, several genetic loci associated with RA have been identified, particularly on chromosome 6, which contains the HLA (human leukocyte antigen) genes. Other chromosomes, such as 1, 2, 3, 5, and 9, also harbor genes linked to RA susceptibility. The interplay of these genetic factors, along with environmental triggers, contributes to the development of the disease.
What role does the human leukocyte antigen test play in pathology?
Certain HLA types have been linked to diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, serum lupus erythematosus, and other autoimmune disorders.
