Genetic susceptibility and validation of angiographic patterns in Takayasu arteritis
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Prior studies identified subsets of patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK) based on angiographic patterns of disease in cohorts from India and North America. This study aimed to validate these patterns in a TAK cohort from Turkey and determine the role of genetics in arterial patterns.
