Early life factors in the development of Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an autoimmune inflammatory arthritis with disease onset before the age of 16. Children and young people with this condition develop painful swollen joints and untreated it can lead to long term disability. It may also be associated with comorbid conditions such as uveitis.
