Familial giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica: aggregation in 2 families.

The Journal of rheumatology - 1 Jul 2002

Fietta Pieranna, Manganelli Paolo, Zanetti Adele, Neri Tauro Maria

Abstract excerpt

The ethnic and geographic prevalence, the familial aggregation, and the reported association with some HLA class II antigens of both giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) strongly suggest the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of these diseases. We describe the familial aggregation of GCA and PMR in 2 unrelated families from Northern Italy. In the first family, 2 sisters developed...
