Abstract excerpt
AIM: Genetic factors are believed to be implicated in the pathogenesis of relapsing polychondritis (RP). However, the molecular genetic determinants remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to detect the susceptibility genes of RP with whole-exome sequencing (WES) in a Chinese family and deepen our understanding of the pathogenesis of RP thereafter. METHOD: A 32-year-old Chinese female proband with RP and her...
