Abstract excerpt
Vasculitides are a cluster of diseases defined by an immune attack targeting vessels of different sizes. While most types of vasculitis have an undetermined cause, progress has been achieved in the recent decade in elucidating the mechanisms that participate in the inflammatory damage of the blood vessel wall. Several studies have emphasized that genetic susceptibility is an important aspect of the pathogenesis...
