Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify genetic determinants of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) (GPA). METHODS: We carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 492 GPA cases and 1,506 healthy controls (white subjects of European descent), followed by replication analysis of the most strongly associated signals in an independent cohort of 528 GPA cases and 1,228 controls. RESULTS: Genome-wide significant...
