To examine the hypothesis that a hereditary factor linked to the immunoglobulin kappa constant segment (Cκ) contributes to risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), white persons with RA were examined forSacI restriction site polymorphisms. RA patients were more likely to have the 5/5‐kb Cκgenotype than white control subjects (relative risk 2.8,P< 0.02). A subgroup of RA patients who were positive for serum rheumatoid factor had a relative risk of 2.4 (P< 0.05). The subgroup without serum rheumatoid factor had an even higher relative risk of 9.7 (P< 0.05). The results suggest that immunoglobulin kappa is an important component in the genetic predisposition toward RA.
