Unraveling the Genetic Determinants of Small Vessel Vasculitis

Caption

Figure. The variants previously associated with risk for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, TERT rs2736100A and DSP rs2076295G, were found to be also associated with MPA and MPO-AAV. On the other hand, frequencies of these alleles were not significantly different between the patients of MPO-AAV with and without interstitial lung disease (ILD). OR: odds ratio; MPO-AAV-ILD: MPO-AAV patients with ILD, MPO-AAV-noILD; MPO-AAV patients without ILD.
