  1. Genes present within the MEN which also show altered gene expression in either rheumatoid-negative (RF-ve) polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) compared with controls, oligoarticular JIA compared with controls, or between oligoarticular compared with RF-ve polyarticular JIA are listed. Presence in the MEN indicates functional priority and the Disease association protein-protein link evaluator (Dapple) P-value assesses the statistical significance of network connectivity compared to what would be expected by chance.
