Research Notes on Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Causes
Doctors do not know exactly what causes juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). Researchers believe something in the environment may trigger the immune system. Researchers also believe that some children may be genetically susceptible to JRA.1
Fast Facts:
- Though researchers believe some type of virus may trigger the disease in some children, JRA is not contagious.2
- While certain genes may make some people more likely to develop JRA, it is rare to find the disease in more than one child in a family.1
- Not everyone who has the genetic markers develop the disease, and children without the genetic markers can develop JRA.3
