A member asked:

How come till now there is no cure for ra ! ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: There is no cure for hundreds of diseases, including all autoimmune ones. These are complex disorders that are still not fully understood. Until there is the ability to modify genes, there is unlikely to be a cure.
