Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by high serum IgG4 concentration and IgG4-bearing plasma cell infiltration in affected organs. IgG4-related periaortitis/periarteritis is a recently identified disease entity in IgG4-RD that affects the cardiovascular system. Since the genetic factors related to disease onset are unclear, we examined the genetic associations...
