Immunoregulatory gene polymorphisms are associated with ANCA-related vasculitis

T cell activation is regulated by inhibitory molecules such as PD-1 and CTLA-4, whose expression may be affected by gene polymorphisms. Increased T cell activation is present in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). We investigated two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PDCD1 and fi...
