Abstract excerpt
Background: The PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway plays a central role in immune regulation and has been implicated in autoimmune diseases. However, the contribution of genetic variation within key components of this pathway to microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) remains incompletely understood. Methods: We conducted a genetic association study in a Chinese cohort including MPA patients and controls. Four single...
