Risks and relative risks of Wegener's granulomatosis among close relatives of patients with the disease.

Arthritis and rheumatism - 1 Jan 2008

Knight Ann, Sandin Sven, Askling Johan

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The etiology of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) supposedly involves interplay between genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers. However, little is known about whether WG actually clusters in families. Information on the degree of familial aggregation in WG is of clinical relevance, because patients with WG often want to know whether their diagnosis puts their closest relatives at increased risk...
