Genetic aspects of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
The genetics of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a complex area of investigation because of the low frequency of AAVs, the rarity of familial cases and the complexity of disease phenotypes. However, recent studies have been able to gather significant numbers of patients, and multicentre collaborative efforts have allowed the performance of two genome-wi...
متن کاملAnti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis: where to go?
Enormous progress has been made during the last 25 years in our understanding of the aetiopathogenesis of the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV). This has led to improvements in early diagnosis, treatment and secondary prevention of these diseases. Nevertheless, there are still unmet needs in the AAV. With respect to diagnosis and follow-up, sensitive ...
متن کاملLong-term observation of patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis treated with rituximab.
OBJECTIVE Rituximab, a chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, has been shown to be quite effective in the treatment of immune disorders resulting from autoantibodies. We prospectively studied the long-term effects of rituximab in 10 patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive vasculitis refractory to conventional therapy (n=3) or in second or subsequent relapse (n=7). ...
متن کاملLong-term outcomes of patients with propylthiouracil-induced anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic auto-antibody-associated vasculitis.
OBJECTIVE It was well known that propylthiouracil (PTU) could induce ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and clinical evident vasculitis could resolve after cessation of PTU with or without immunosuppressive therapy. However, the treatment strategy for patients with PTU-induced AAV remained inconclusive and their long-term outcomes were lacking. The aim of our study was to summarize these data. ...
متن کاملAnti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis, Large Vessel Vasculitis and Kawasaki Disease in Japan
Based on studies comparing the prevalence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) between Japan and Europe, we have learned that the difference may be due to genetic background and environmental factors, but not to diagnosis or ELISA system for myeloperoxidase and proteinase-3 ANCA. In Japan, microscopic polyangiitis is the most common among AAV, but Wegener’s...
