Ross E. Petty is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of British Columbia and a Canadian pediatric rheumatologist at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, Canada.
In 2006, he was appointed a member of the Order of Canada for his contribution within Canada and around the world to improving the lives of children and youth with rheumatic diseases. In 2012, he was awarded a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal.[1]

Background

Petty is known for his clinical and academic achievements in the field of pediatric rheumatology. Throughout his career, his contributions have resulted in more than 225 original research papers and book chapters in medical and scientific journals[2]. He has co-authored every edition of the Textbook of Pediatric Rheumatology, a highly cited pediatric rheumatology reference book[3]. Petty chaired the League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) working group, to define a new classification system and nomenclature for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and its subtypes.[2],[4],[5]. Petty has been instrumental in the training of pediatric rheumatologists in Canada and throughout the world [5]. He established Canada’s first formal pediatric rheumatology program at the University of Manitoba in 1976, and three years later, he founded a similar program at the University of British Columbia.


Career

Petty was one of the first paediatricians formally trained as a rheumatologist. He graduated from the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, in 1965 [6].  After finishing his medical internship in Saskatoon, Petty moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, where he completed his rheumatology training under the mentorship of Drs. Jim Cassidy and Donita Sullivan at the University of Michigan [5]

Petty moved to England, where he completed a doctorate (Ph.D.) in immunology at the University of London, with the thesis "The significance of antibody affinity in immune complex disease [7]". During his graduate studies, he worked with Dr. Michael Steward and Dr. Barbara Ansell, which influenced his life as a pediatric rheumatologist.

In 1976, he returned to Canada and established the first formal pediatric rheumatology program at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada . In 1979, he started a similar program at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver[5].

Starting with these first training programs, Petty has taught professionals at all levels of training. Many of his students developed academic centers with a pediatric rheumatology subspecialty throughout Canada, the United States, and around the world [8].

Dr. Petty had the opportunity to combine laboratory and clinical research during his career. He studied the significance of factor VIII related antigen in juvenile dermatomyositis. In addition, he studied the relationship between JIA and uveitis to antinuclear antibodies (ANA), discovering that ANAs were highly expressed during the onset of the disease.[6]

With colleagues, he demonstrated the relationship of IgA deficiency in childhood rheumatic diseases, the influence of maternal anti-IgA antibodies on the occurrence of IgA deficiency in the offspring. He and colleagues first described the association of HLA A2 with juvenile idiopathic arthritis[9]. Along with Dr. Alan Rosenberg he described the syndrome of seronegativity, enthesitis and arthritis (SEA Syndrome), its relationship to HLA B27 and the development of ankylosing spondylitis[10]. These findings are now included in the JIA classification,  proposed by the ILAR[11].

Honors

Dr. Petty is a fellow in recognized institutions such as the American College of Rheumatology, the American Academy of Paediatrics and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He is the recipient of numerous awards:

  • Alan Ross Award of the Canadian Paediatric Society (1994)
  • Distinguished Rheumatologist by the Canadian Rheumatology Association (1997)
  • James T. Cassidy Award from the American Academy of Paediatrics (2003)
  • Appointed a Member of the Order of Canada in recognition of his work in the field of paediatric rheumatology (2008)
  • Masters Award from the American College of Rheumatology (2008)
  • Recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal (2012)
  • Creation of Canada’s first Paediatric Arthritis Chair in Petty’s name (2017)
  • Honorary Doctor of Science degree from the University of Saskatchewan (2018)
