According to a study published by Veena Taneja, Ph.D., an immunologist at Mayo Clinic, the microbiome could help diagnose, and possibly play a role in preventing, the joint pain of rheumatoid arthritis. The clinic’s study took a group of rheumatoid arthritis patients, their relatives and a control group who do not suffer from arthritis, and used Genome Sequencing Technology to isolate a biomarker: in other words, find something different about the sufferers that is not found in the control group. The something they eventually discovered was in the gut flora of patients; they demonstrated an abundance of a rare bacteria, and a microbial imbalance.
