2020-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a multi-systemic autoimmune disorder with evidence of circulating pathogenic ANCA. There are two main antigenic targets: proteinase 3 (PR3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have provided evidence that PR3-AAV and MPO-AAV are genetically distinct autoimmune syndromes, though only three loci specific...
