Abstract
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is an acute and chronic vasculitis of unknown etiology. Recently, our group reported that SNP rs6871626 in the IL12B region had significant association with disease susceptibility to TAK. However, association of the SNP with clinical characteristics of TAK has yet to be determined. Therefore, we assessed whether this SNP was associated with TAK disease severity as represented by early onset and/or refractoriness to...
