Severe ADEM‐Like Neuroinflammatory Disease and Cerebrovascular Fragility With Recurrent Pseudoaneurysms and Moyamoya in a Familial Germline CBL Mutation: Expanding the Clinical Phenotype

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterozygous germline variants in CBL disrupt its function as a negative regulator of the Ras/MAPK pathway, classically predisposing to Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) and moyamoya. We describe two affected siblings carrying a paternally inherited CBL variant (c.1210 T> C, p.

Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: A Scoping Review

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common manifestations of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), often preceding the diagnosis of systemic vasculitis by several years. The sinonasal presentation of EGPA typically resembles CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), making it clinically indistinguishable from those

The immunopathology of ANCA-associated vasculitis [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Immunopathology, 2014
The small-vessel vasculitides are a group of disorders characterised by variable patterns of small blood vessel inflammation producing a markedly heterogeneous clinical phenotype. While any vessel in any organ may be involved, distinct but often overlapping sets of clinical features have allowed the description of three subtypes associated with the ...

A case of COVID‐19‐associated C‐ANCA vasculitis, was successfully treated with rituximab therapy

open access: yesClinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message Both C‐anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) and P‐ANCA vasculitis were reported to be associated with COVID‐19 infection. The ideal management of COVID‐19‐associated ANCA vasculitis is unclear, as the experiences were limited ...

Effective Performance of the 2022 American College of Rheumatology/EULAR Classification Criteria for Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis in Pediatric Patients: An ARChiVe Study

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To assess the 2022 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/EULAR classification criteria for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis (AAV) in children with chronic small‐to‐medium vessel vasculitis. Methods A cohort of 574 patients, identified by physician's diagnosis (MD‐diagnosis) in A Registry of Childhood Vasculitis, was ...

Complement in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

open access: yesSeminars in Nephrology, 2013
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) are the likely cause for necrotizing small vessel vasculitis and crescentic glomerulonephritis. Unlike other forms of crescentic glomerulonephritis induced by immune complexes or anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibodies that have conspicuous vessel wall immunoglobulin and complement, there

Higher Complement C4 Gene Copy Number Constitutes a Shared Genetic Risk Factor for Giant Cell Arteritis and IgA Vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Outcomes in progressive pulmonary fibrosis in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases: real‐world data from the ILD‐PRO Registry

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective We evaluated baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes in patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease‐associated progressive pulmonary fibrosis (SARD‐PPF) and evaluated whether outcomes differed by SARD subtype. Methods The ILD‐PRO Registry is a prospective multicenter US registry of patients with PPF.

Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.
