This study attempts to identify the genes responsible for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or inflammation of the joints. It is known that genes play an important role in RA, but their number and significance have not been determined. RA tends to run in families. This study will examine the DNA (hereditary material) of patients with RA and their family members to try to determine which chromosomes(s) contain the genes responsible for the disease. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and their family members may be eligible for this study. Participants with RA who have a brother or sister with RA will undergo the following procedures:
