Abstract excerpt
Autoimmune diseases are commonly associated with a polygenic inheritance pattern. In rare instances, causal monogenic variants have been identified. The study by Liu et al. in this issue of the JCI provides an example of monogenic variants occurring in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). The authors investigated a familial cluster of IgG4-RD that consisted of an affected father and two daughters; the...
