First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

CAPS was designed to study clinical and genetic predictors of JIA outcome. The gene IL2RA has recently emerged as a JIA susceptibility locus. This study investigates the association between SNPs located within the IL2RA region and disease severity at first presentation to rheumatology.
