Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Takayasu arteritis is a rare vasculitis characterized by inflammation of large arteries. Given the robust genetic association with HLA-B*52:01, it was recently proposed to classify Takayasu arteritis within the spectrum of MHC-I-opathies. Although genetic associations in ERAP1 and ERAP2 have been described in several MHC-I-opathies, their role in Takayasu arteritis remains unclear. This study...
