Is there any way to detect a carrier of rheumatoid arthritis?

Yes, recent developments do allow this. A simple blood draw can be sent for genetic testing to see if you carry RA. There are also specific markers that can indicate if you actually have it, or even other types of immune disorders or arthritis.
