Mannose-binding lectin variant alleles and HLA-DR4 alleles are associated with giant cell arteritis
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research
To determine whether variant alleles of the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene causing low serum concentrations of MBL and/or polymorphisms of HLA-DRB1 are associated with increased susceptibility to polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) or particular clinical phenotypes of PMR/GCA.
