Description
Although other vasculitides, such as giant cell arteritis (GCA) or immunoglobulin A vasculitis, have not benefitted by the great advantage of the large-scale genetic analyses yet, some interesting associations have been recently suggested, such as the classical functional PTPN22 allele rs2476601 (R620W) with GCA.
