This has been known for some time, although it's a good reminder. A previous study that comes to mind (www.nature.com/articles/nbt...) found most of the variation was due to extraction methods, while the bioinformatics analysis had a smaller effect.

The second study was an anti-inflammatory dietary intervention in osteoarthritis. Responders had significant differences in microbiome and metabolome, and taxa within the Lachnospiraceae were associated with pain reduction and anti-inflammatory metabolite production.

The first work studied two different cohorts (US, UK) of monozygotic twins who were discordant for rheumatoid arthritis. Affected twins had a decrease in SCFA producers in both populations, and lower concentration of butyrate, propionate and acetate.

Short-chain fatty acids and their gut microbial pathways distinguish rheumatoid arthritis in discordant monozygotic twins
Although genetic risk factors, such as HLA-DRB1 alleles, contribute to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the concordance rate in monozygo…
